Where it came from
This 1983 recording presents a musical setting of poems written by children imprisoned in the Terezín concentration camp during the Holocaust. The work was composed by Charles Davidson, who sought to transform these poignant, resilient verses into a cycle for choir and piano. By pairing the children's haunting observations of their environment with choral arrangements, Davidson aimed to preserve the artistic legacy of those who perished while highlighting the endurance of the human spirit under extreme duress.
The recording features the San Francisco Girls Chorus under the direction of Elizabeth Appling. Produced by Bensongs Records, the album serves as both a historical document and a somber artistic tribute. It emerged during a period of growing academic and public interest in the cultural artifacts salvaged from Terezín. The performance is widely regarded for its delicate balance of youthful vocal quality and the weight of the subject matter, effectively conveying the stark contrast between the innocence of the poets and the gravity of their circumstances.
