Words, uttered and gone. Shoes beside a dead man’s bed, the pillow still cradling the indent of an absent head… Stories once told, who remembers them now? 
Lest some forget : A choir assembled with words to speak of. 
They wrote of lives; future, present and past. Stories of their own and of others alike. The text created, collated and interwoven, was then in their hands to be spoken.

Lost Souls is an uttering of individuals in co-existence. Chorists have the choice of existing on their own as well as being part of the whole. They choose two signature sounds for themselves and then utter the six interwoven stories according to five instructions. Combinations, initiated by the conductor using sign language, yield an infinitely changing ritual of recount and remembrance.
