Publisher's Synopsis
(Vocal Score). Winter Journey tells the story of desperate migration from troubled, war-torn countries to Europe, in all its indifference and rejection. The story is told from the perspective of three characters: a man from an unnamed country moving from hardship to hardship as he seeks a better life in Europe, and the woman and child he has left behind. The choir serves as a Greek chorus, while a politician (a speaking role) intervenes intermittently with refrains that will be familiar to many European ears: "The boat cannot dock at our port."
