Innocents, directed by Dennis Friesen-Carper, REddel Professor of Music at Valparaiso University
Innocents, set to a libretto by Walter Wangerin, Jr., was written in response to the war in Iraq and meditates on the often tragic cost of the pursuit of power. According to the selection committee's letter of citation, Innocents, “dramatizes the horror of Herod’s paranoid murder of not only the children of Bethlehem, but also (historically) his beloved wife Mariamme and their children.”
