Really fine southern composer wrote it in the 50's. Set in Tennesee hills. Moralistic community condems maiden as a harlot, though in fact she is chaste, Pastor overwhelms her discovers she was virgin. McCarthy era plot but really good music , libretto , recorded many times. I have Cheryl Studer who is hot and Sam Ramey and Jerry Hadley who always seems weak, but great elocution since that was what thread was about.

Thank you. I'd like to hear it.
