Commissioned by New Dublin Voices. Performed on 13th Oct at St Mary’s Cathedral, Kilkenny, 27th Oct at Wexford Opera Festival, and 9th Nov at the Pepper Canister Church, Dublin. Concert review by the Journal of Music - “Anselm McDonnell’s approach to The Mother of God’s opening line – ‘The threefold terror of love’ – in three- and then four-part counterpoint, was refreshing, and he used some lovely dynamic effects capturing a good sense of the poem’s confrontation of the vast.”
