The vocal piece for countertenor and lute dedicated to the story of the discovery of the remains of King Richard III under a car park in Leicester in 2012.
Mulligan used four text fragments. Three of them are direct speech and interviews with Philippa Langley (the initiator of the search), which convey her emotional connection with the discovery. The fourth text is a poem by the 15th-century Welsh poet Guto`r Glyn, celebrating the knight who, according to legend, killed the king.
