MOR (Mother) is a word that evokes associations, memories and emotions. Which mother do you think of? A loving mother with a newborn baby in her arms. Intimacy. A despairing mother in deep grief over a lost life. Emptiness. Through words and music our lives are woven together with Mary’s life and perhaps we sense that a mother’s pain and sorrow, a mother’s strength and endurance, a mother’s warmth and love are the same now as they were two thousand years ago.

MOR features Petra Bjørkhaug and Ragnhild Jepsen’s Sarmerkt interleaved with Domenico Scarlatti’s Stabat Mater.
