Part 1 of 13 in a Rock study guide to the novel The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.

This first episode introduces the series and walks you through the first of 13 scenes chosen from the book, in which Dominque Francon takes the witness stand at The Stoddard Trial. Mark Michael Lewis sets the context in the book and examines the lyrics to the song The Temple of The Human Spirit, which consist of Dominque's testimony to the court.

The song The Temple of The Human Spirit comes from the progressive rock concept album "Sermons In Rock - A Tribute To The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand" by the band Heroic Lullabies. Each of the 13 songs on the album focus on a pivotal scene from the book, using the actual text written by Ayn Rand as the lyrics for the songs.

You can listen to the album directly at https://soundcloud.com/HeroicLullabies/sets/sermons-in-rock

Each song selects key parts from a speech or conversation given by Roark, Dominique, Wynand, or Toohey, reorganizes them into lyric form, and performs them using ai music generation (Suno.com). The songs move chronologically through the book from The Stoddard Trial to The Cortland Trial and capture many of the central themes from the book. The song titles are as follows:
1. The Temple of The Human Spirit - Dominique to The Court
2. My Answer - Dominique to Roark
3. The Only Way - Roark to Dominique
4. Life As Exaltation - Wynand to Dominique
5. The Essence of Ownership - Roark to Wynand
6. My Work Done My Way - Roark to Keating
