The Annunciation is an instrumental arrangement of the composer’s own piece for upper voices, Angelus ad Virginem, and portrays the biblical scene in which the Angel Gabriel informed Mary about the forthcoming birth of Jesus. With its tranquil high solo writing and use of polychords, the piece is very much intended to be an experience for the listener, who, taking on the role of Mary,
hears a musical representation of the angelic voice.
