With lyrics based on authentic quotes from prisoners facing execution, this innovative work allows a number of silenced voices to come forward in emotional goodbyes, pleas for forgiveness, assurances of innocence, and wise advice to survivors. Creatively includes intermittent thuds from four staffs to emphasize their final words: a percussive emphasis for when life and death is about to be summed up. A powerful work for more advanced ensembles.
