Odyssey

This piece was inspired by the ancient Celtic hymn Be Thou My Vision and Dante’s Inferno. Some may think this a strange combination - perhaps it is, but these two sources will help in understanding the thinking behind the work. I have tried to portray the imaginary journey of a human soul from the ‘darkness’ of the earthbound situation to the ‘light’ of spiritual union with God.

The inspiration of the hymn places this imaginary journey in a specifically Christian context since the focus of the vision is the Trinity.
