The music and the text of the oratorio were written by the American composer David Lang in 2007. It was based on the famous tragic tale by Andersen, in which unlike other stories there is nothing magical or light, the story of a freezing girl on the streets on Christmas Eve is told as a Christian parable.
Lang’s oratorio, performed by a vocal quartet accompanied by percussion instruments, also enjoys plastique imagination. Through dance, the eight performers try to convey their personal experiences of losing someone close to them, overcoming fear and loneliness and acquiring hope and faith.
