Can anyone tell me what's being chanted in Music in 12 Parts? It sounds like "sail on, sea gull," or "see ya, Smeagol," or "selah, seeker," though it can't be.

I haven't heard the whole thing in quite a while, but it was Glass' custom in his early work to have vocalists sing only solfeggio syllables (ie: "do-re-mi-fal-sol-la-ti"), so I'd imagine what you're hearing is a combination of thise and not actual words.
