Setting of a poem by Jonathan Fink,
Choir SATB, with solo violin and solo cello
Commissioned and performed by the Manhattan Choral Ensemble
under the direction of Thomas Cunningham


A haunting and evocative work depicting the lonely terror of the aftermath of the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in downtown New York City

I felt the urge to run…

A man across the street
Called a woman’s name…

Walked briskly back and forth
Grabbed at strangers
Turned them towards him…

As he searched each face…
