Akashic Classics – Distributed by The SRG ILS Group • Universal Music Group Notes about the video:

This music video is a rich visual collage inspired by Bruno Degazio’s “All Things Serve the Earth,” the fourth of Thomas Aquinas’s Seven Parables of the Coming of Dawn.

At this pivotal point in the series, Sophia—an embodiment of Wisdom—has survived near-drowning, isolation, and imprisonment. Through these trials, she begins to transmute suffering into meaning. This parable marks the return of warmth and connection after a long night of the soul, as hope quietly reenters the story. Visual artist

Jeff Lyons brings this transformation to life through a stunning montage of famous paintings brought to life with AI, and layered with special effects and imagery. Drawing from the artists and mystics of Aquinas’s era and later—Breughel, Bosch, Carpaccio, and others—Lyons creates a dreamlike landscape that mirrors both Sophia’s inner journey and the broader spiritual awakening of the narrative.

All Things Serve the Earth is featured on the SPO album Songs of Hope, conducted and produced by Ron Royer, performed by mezzo-soprano Danielle MacMillan and the SPO Chamber Ensemble. The album is available on all major streaming platforms.
