In the Middle Ages, master stonemasons built immense, light-filled cathedrals with vast, reverberant interiors. These awe-inspiring churches stood in stark contrast to the hard labor, hunger, and disease that marked daily life. This piece evokes both the adversity and the spiritual transcendence of medieval life, using musical material borrowed from the 12th century along with heavy metal rock.
