We Inspired Your Mother is a mystical and majestic piece for SATB choir or soloists.

Lyricist: Music and Text by Sora Jederan-Shpack

We Inspired Your Mother is the English translation for the Qur'an verse, 20.37-38 that is recited just prior in the oratorio. The text is set first mystically, with tonal dissonance, as Moses is being called by God, and then majestically as he is told that his mother received an inspired message. The melodic material presented here is the primary material of the next movement, Infant Moses.
