The composer states that this work is a fusion of symphonic poem and concerto for orchestra. The title refers to a figure in the Book of Revelation whose exact identity has been open to a number of interpretations, including the Virgin Mary and a matriarchal symbol for the Church. The score was inspired by a range of visual art works on the topic through the ages.
