My Scheme of Milton Studies
The Ｕｌｔｉｍａｔｅ Aim: to manifest and glorify the Son of God, Christ Jesus
Individual Aims
1. Educational Aims: to enhance imagination, morality, and purify heart of
the students (APL)
2. Religious Aim: to lead human soul to God’s Salvation (APLi) *
3. Medical Aim: to activate the human body and soul with the use of
VISIC**
4. Musical Aim: to create orchestra music. Each according to twelve books
of APL, orchestra music is created as second creation. “Vis Vitae” is
created now.***
*We may present our experiment to prove this effect.
**We may see what it is like. VISIC=Vibration-Music
***We can hear this music.

A possible significance of this study in view of a
proper Milton scholarship is vitalization of his
what is called “Dead Language”
1. Daniel J. Boorstin writes in his The Creator (Vintage, 1993): “T. S. Eliot
attacked Milton as one whose sensuousness, dulled by blindness, had been
‘withered by book-learning,’ and who wrote English ‘like a dead language”
(p. 332).
2. Daniel writes also as follows: “But few ever did more to make that language
live” (p. 332).
Milton’s “dead” language proves to be so fruitful in
bringing forth good to the world, with this experiment.

Another possible significance of this study in view of
my theoretical studies of Milton’s art is realization of
outer-induced creation
1. Milton’s creative processes are complex. One of the
theories that can explain similar but original emotion in
his poetry is induced creation. Induced creation is
divided into two: (1) outer-induced creation and (2)
inward-induced creation.
2. Our fruit is “Vis Vitae” (Power of living) composed by
Mirei on hearing APL Book One.

The First Mode: Text
Here is the samples from Book X:
Meanwhile the hainous and despiteful act
Of Satan done in Paradise, and how
Hee in the Serpent had perverted Eve,
Her Husband shee, to taste the fatal fruit,
Was known in Heav’n: for what can be scape the Eye
Of God All-seeing, or deceave his Heart
Omniscient, who in all things wise and just,
Hinderd not Satan to attempt the minde
Of Man, with strength entire, and free Will armd,
Complete to have discovered and repulst
Whatever wiles of Foe or seeming Friend.
For still they knew, and ought to have still rememberd
The high Injunction not to taste that Fruit,
Whoever tempted; which they not obeying,
Incurrd, what could they less, the penaltie,
And manifold in sin, deserv’d not to fall.

The Fifth Mode:ＳＣＰＬ
(Second Creation Paradise Lost)
“Vis Vitae”

Composed by Mirei Moritani, based on Book
One. This piece is one of the fruits of induced
creation. The music sings out the crisis of life
and overcoming of it. The sense of the music
is as follows: man, rising from the desperate
state and with fainting consciousness
advances his course of life step by step, with
a power given overhead. It is a precious thing
that a person should live as a personal being.
It is orchestral music with a chorus. Chorus:
soprano, alto, tenor, and bass; instruments:
pipes, horn, timpani, cymbal, first violin,
second violin, viola and cello. The unique
rhythms in it express “power of living.”

“Vis Vitae”
Hallelujah, praise to the Lord, Christ Jesus, Holy Spirit, Amen
Have mercy upon us, God of Salvation
You are God in Heaven, born of Mary, suffered under Pilate
Hallelujah, Amen. Pity us, Our Lord of Salvation.
You were crucified, killed, buried and resurrected.
Hallelujah, Amen to the Holy Spirit and to the Son.
