St Mary Magdalene

Mary Magdalene: follower of Christ, witness to his crucifixion, and the first person Jesus appears to upon his resurrection. Despite being venerated in many major branches of Christianity, a negative stigma still surrounds her. Centuries of patriarchal church rule has meant her legacy is shrouded in myths and falsities. This piece seeks to honour her memory, with a gentle, rocking melody  accompanied by dissonant harmony, before opening up into a sweeping lament.
