- The Accacha Chronicles is an operatic trilogy by Nicholas Lens (2005) for Soprano, Tenor, Counter-tenor, Mezzo-soprano, Baritone, Bass, male actor, small choir, mixed choir and chamber orchestra. Lens' publication of The Accacha Chronicles earned him international acclaim. It might be Lens' most important and famous work and consists of three parts: Part I: Flamma Flamma - The Fire Requiem (1994) (BMG Classics 74321 697172 - Sony Classical Part II: Terra Terra - The Aquarius Era Part III: Amor Aeternus - Hymns of Love, The Chronicles detail a three part tale where some eccentric gods visit Earth—once in each album—to find some entertainment by watching the humans. They become fascinated by their actions and reaction, and begin to imitate them in order to understand them and their emotions. The first part captures the western concept of a requiem while at the same time abandoning the traditional rich chords and free, rubato meter of a cathedral work. Instead, each of the voices has a soloistic line, accompanied not by sostenuto chords, but by a piercing trio from Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares, known in the Chronicles as "The Fireflies," and an unusual rhythmic accompaniment. The lyrics of the first part "Flamma Flamma", all in Latin were written by the author Herman Portocarero. The lyrics of the two other parts were written by Lens himself.
