Remembering is a lyrical and evocative meditation on the horrors of World War II. It is in three major sections. The two outer sections are accompanied by electronic sounds. The first part is dominated by word fragments which are gradually revealed to be names of concentration camps and other sites of horror. The middle section is without electronic sounds and is a setting of the Jewish prayer for the dead, the Kaddish and is in the original Hebrew. The last section again features a collage of vocal sounds as a background for the soloist and brings a gentle resolution to the work.
