It was written while staying at her family's farm in Cambridgeshire. Unintentionally, the wide open spaces infused Ben Ponniah's writing. This work uses the following 7-note scale: G, A, Bb, C, D, E and F#. Only these notes are used throughout the piece and the scale is derived from Scriabin's 'Mystic Chord'. The uncertain and unresolved tonality, therefore, reflects the mystery surrounding the miraculous birth of Jesus, as well as Ponniah's own personal doubts and wonder.
