Work Overview
Original version written for an art gallery event for the then not yet sainted, (Saint) Mary Mckillop in 1994. It has been extensively developed since then into almost symphonic proportions, ranging from dark introspective passages to joyous and exultant celebrations of the spirit; both within and without.
It is also very energetic and almost jazz-like in places.
