John Adams - On the Transmigration of Souls

Best listened to with headphones in a darkened room. Scotch optional.

John Adams resists the terms "requiem" or "memorial," calling this piece a "memory space." Whatever one calls it, it is a fitting tribute to the tragic events of 9/11.

[What is this?]

Thy knotted and combined locks to part, And each particular hair to stand on end Like quills upon the fretful porpentine.
