The centre-piece of a chamber orchestra trilogy (see also Sinfonia Concertante and Sinfonietta Accademica) and is a symphonic song-cycle in five continuous movements. The text ponders the influence of modern times on ancient ways of life.

The first performance took place in June 1993 in St. Magnus' Cathedral, Orkney, as part of the St. Magnus Festival.
