Based on original materials from the holocaust memorial museum in Washington, D.C., this is an emotional musical journey through one of the bleakest episodes in human history. Working from translations of the original polish and often starting with a single line of melody, McCullough has fashioned a haunting choral tribute to all whose lives were destroyed by the horrors of the holocaust. What emerges is a sense of music's life-affirming powers. Instrumentation (HMB219a): cello only. Contents: Chorus: 1. The Prisoner Rises (SATB Chorus Piano & Cello) Reading: 2.
