Master and Margarita is the story of a young woman in economically depressed Moscow whose lover is confined to an asylum. Her unhappy existence is shaken up when Voland, a professor of black magic arrives in town and decides he has a use for her. Overnight, Margarita is transformed into a worthy consort for Voland; she does his bidding, but in return she is rewarded with the release of her lover and they are happily reunited.
The CD contains five songs: "Fresh from the Fire," as Voland prepares to invite damned souls to a celebration with Margarita; "The Yellow Flowers," telling how Master met his lover, Margarita; "So Much Work Ahead of Us," as Voland and his minions plot their big night; "Words Upon the Page," Margarita's ode to her lover's skills; and "What Can I Give You," where he offers Margarita her choice of reward.
