This is the fourth Antiphonen "O Key of David" from Arvo Pårt's Magnificat Antiphonen. Tomorrow I bring the first five of nine pieces inspired by this music to the printer to be scanned. Four more to go. I will post them all together, with music when finished, as well as the exhibit schedule for this group of paintings.
Keep scrolling down to hear the music that inspires this one. Here are the first three steps.

O key of David,
sceptre of the house of Israel,
you open something, none can close it,
you close something, and no power may open it;
O come and open the prison of darkness
and the chain of death.
