Dans la nuit du 29 mai 1914, un dense brouillard étouffe le son de la cloche de brume de l'Empress of Ireland. Quatorze minutes plus tard, le fleuve glacial engloutit le navire et 1012 de ses passages. À partir d'éléments architecturaux et ornementaux inspirés du navire, l'œuvre compose une symphonie onirique qui commémore la tragédie.

[English translation]
On the night of May 29, 1914, a dense fog choked the sound of the Empress of Ireland's fog bell. Fourteen minutes later, the icy river engulfed the ship and 1012 of its passengers. From architectural and ornamental elements inspired by the ship, the work composes a dreamlike symphony that commemorates the tragedy.
