Mary as bridge between life and death

The Pietà. Is there any more iconic and universal image than that of a mother, lovingly and protectively cradling her dead child in her arms? Music from the Renaissance and Baroque integrates seamlessly with contemporary work, spinning a common thread through the centuries: how Mary – the prototypical mother – becomes the symbol of unconditional love in our deeply human quest to connect with the divine.
