The Icelandic composer, Hugi Gudmundsson, has penned a new oratorio infused with religious themes and featuring an ensemble of orchestra, choir, and soloists. The Gospel of Mary draws inspiration from a long-forgotten gospel written in the early centuries after Christ's birth, which challenges the established narrative surrounding the role of Mary Magdalene in Christianity.
