About
This short work was written at the request of the author of the text, Adrienne Mary Hayes. She had heard a work of mine performed by Diocesan School for Girls and was keen to have her text The Mirror set for voices and simple accompaniment.
In her original letter to me she comments that in the text '...Mary, the mother of Jesus, is likened to a mirror of Eternity'. The Carmelite Order are familiar with the this concept and it was hoped that the Carmelite Sisters would be able to use the text as part of their liturgy, especially on the Feasts of Our Lady.
