was a year of crisis for Smyth as she began to compose her first
large-scale work,The Mass in D. Grief for the death of her mother and
loss of a first love compounded her sense of spiritual and sexual
confusion, imperiled her health and sanity, and sent her on restless
travels in search of a path to understanding and solace. The
"God-intoxicated" masterpiece she created, with its musical message of
hope, joy, and peace, both resolved the crisis and revealed an
unexpected way forward in her career.</span></span></span></p>
