The work is a chamber opera in five movements. The vocal forces include soprano, mezzo-soprano and baritone solos and a small mixed chorus. The instrumental forces include flute, oboe, alto and tenor saxophone, bassoon, cello and percussion. The opera is a character study of Eve and the Virgin Mary that compares and contrasts their evolving emotions. Recurring motives and texts are used to help the characters portray their emotions . The English texts were chosen from poetry ranging primarily from the 16th to the 20th century.
