This work is inspired by both traditional European and traditional Indian music. The texts are from holy books from different religions and have the theme "Creation" as their main content. The composition begins with the breath (= spirit) that God gave to the world when he created it. Furthermore, we hear the creation account from Genesis and from the Gospel of John. Then we follow the great hymn of praise where jubilation and praise from both Judeo-Christian tradition is mixed with Islamic and Hindu praise. Finally, all the voices gather in a great prayer for peace for this world.
