Nizkor— A Journey of Remembrance
Files
Description
NIZKOR—A Journey of Remembrance is a 40-minute oratorio for vocal soloists, double chorus and orchestra that responds to family loss and the COVID pandemic in a Jewish context of text, ritual, and remembrance. With reference to the Lamentations, each of the six movements begins with successive Hebrew letters, framing grief within ordered, communal lament, moving from shiva’s raw rupture, through Psalm 23 and a collage of psalms and Ecclesiastes on mortality and wisdom, to El Malei Rachamim and the Mourner’s Kaddish, culminating in the traditional condolence blessing that links personal sorrow to the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem
