John Adams: On the Transmigration of Souls
The New York Philharmonic commissioned John Adams to commemorate the 9/11 tragedy, and he responded with On the Transmigration of Souls. It stunned the audience with its mix of chorus, orchestra, street sounds, and the reading of names of the dead and messages from loved ones posted at Ground Zero. This work won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize.
