Written in the late 1670s, Biber's Mystery Sonatas are a set of 15 sonatas and a passacaglia, each depicting significant events in the lives of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. "Pentecost" vividly portrays the rush of the "mighty wind" and the "tongues of fire" associated with this biblical episode.
