This Heinio work commissioned by the Key Ensemble looks at the Virgin Mary from fascinatingly different perspectives. The first two of the five songs are about the Black Madonna. The third alludes to Luther and has the hymn Vom Himmel hoch embedded in it. The fourth is based on a 13th century Stabat mater hymn, and the last draws on Orthodox motifs.
