19-year-old composer Christopher Mohr decided to use his composing art as a vehicle to meet his own “shadow.” Over the next twenty years, the music drama unfolded into a discovery of that healing peace which even the most reprehensible acts cannot destroy.

The wordless, all-vocalise choir and soloists tell the transcendent story by singing melodies of haunting beauty. The music echoes a wide range of styles, including Medieval, Baroque, Classical, Indian, Romantic, early Twentieth Century, Microtonal, Folk, Rock and Balinese. An enormous range of instruments is also represented: the symphony orchestra and chorus, Ukrainian folk instruments, piano, harpsichord, celeste, vibraphones, saxophones, synthesizers, exotic percussion, pipe organ, sitar, early music instruments, and others. An attempt was made to create the impression that all the music of the world, and hence, the full range of human experience, is embraced by this piece.
