Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
After the success of his opera The Shining, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Paul Moravec has once again collaborated with librettist Mark Campbell to create the second of his 'American historical oratorios.' This piece draws on the astonishing stories to be found in William Still's book The Underground Railroad, which documents the network of secret routes and safe houses used by African American slaves to escape into free states and Canada during the early to mid-1800s.
"An oratorio based on the writings of William Still."
"World premiere recording."
