On June 8, 2008, Sylvain Cambrelin conducted the Munich Philharmonic in the premiere performance.Borissov-Ollas has written several works related to the "Psalms" of the Old Testament, including "Wings of the Wind" (1997), a symphonic poem based on "Psalm 104," which won second prize in the "Masterprize International Composition Competition" in England (1998) and first brought her to international recognition.

The "Kingdom of Silence," which refers to "the mysterious land we will go to after our lifetime," was inspired by the free translation of Psalm 94 from the Russian version of the Bible.
