"Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is an ambitious project, and it is a resounding success. The two epics weave beautiful lyricism with dynamic and exciting instrumentals. There is a clear thematic throughline on each song, with peaks and troughs of drama and emotion."
The verses of "Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám" come from the work of the same name by astronomer and poet Omar Khayyám (1048-1131), translated by Edward FitzGerald (1809-1883). The verses printed here come from the first translation, first published in 1859. All three texts were adapted by Stuart Wicke.
