Set in the context of the Holocaust, ORATORIO TEREZIN is a powerful full length work by Ruth Fazal scored for symphony orchestra, children's choir, adult choir, and soloists. Oratorio Terezin uses for it's Oratorio text, children's poetry which miraculously survived from the ghetto of Terezin, woven together with passages from the Hebrew scriptures to portray God's heart in the midst of suffering.
The musical style is both
dramatically intense, and sweetly lyrical. The juxtaposition of the children's
and adult's voices, along with those of the Voice of the Prophet, the Voice of
God and the Voice of Suffering create the tension found in the midst of feelings
of rejection and abandonment alongside the hope deep within the human heart that
all will be well.
