The German Advent carol Maria walks amid the thorns (Maria durch ein Dornwald gin) has its origins as a song which would accompany a pilgrimage. Here, the text is set to an original melody. With child, Mary walks through a forest, perhaps on the way to visit Elizabeth (Luke 1:39-56). Where Mary passes the dead thorns miraculously bloom with roses. Each verse ends with the supplication Kyrie eleison (Lord, have mercy upon us). Quite fittingly, a soprano soloist (or small ensemble of voices) is required.
