The Music – Sweet, sweet Gomer
Gomer is introduced for the first time in this scene. The audience and Hosea’s first encounter with “the girl” of his dreams is rather comical and clichéd. In this scene where Hosea checks out who his future wife is, the chorus sings about Gomer, introducing her and what she’s like as a person; “she’s got oh such a reputation”, “talk of town”, “purity…charity” etc.
