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, principally those of Dürer, Rubens, Doré, Blake, Marvenko, amongst others. Although in one continuous movement the work is divided into five sections, each with a title referring to some aspect of the image and narrative: A woman clothed by the sun, The great battle, She is given the wings of a great eagle, She is taken up, Coronation.
