Craig Hella Johnson: The Innocence: Gemischter Chor mit Begleitung

This 17th movement from the major work Considering Matthew Shepard is planted right in the middle of the passion. Remembering a time when life was full of promise and dreaming was an activity filled with hope, a tenor soloist opens this movement wondering where all of these promising times have gone. The full choir supports the soloist with the repeated question Where, O where? but an answer doesn't comes.
