The resemblance of the visual of an accordionist playing, with the
body of Jesus Christ, sparked the initial idea of Nikki Martin's
"Mother of Sorrows" (2010). The piece is the sister piece to the composer's earlier work for violin and viola, "Mother and Child", in which a mother is heard comforting her frightened baby with a simple lullaby.
In "Mother of Sorrows", the roles have transformed, as we now hear a crying mother, lamenting the death of her dead child, comforting herself by singing the lullaby that she once sung for her baby.
