The musical and spatial effects employed in this work allow the listener to experience the Biblical story on which it is based. Although it is a very exciting work in its entirety, each movement can be played separately. I especially appreciate how motives from all three movements are related. I have conducted this work on several occasions, including a concert tour, and it always blows the audience away.
