I like this piece. To me, more than Adams' other works. I place it with Gorecki's 'Symphony of Sorrows'. You raise interesting questions about both mood and frequency. I think it takes a few hearings to train the receptivity and the reception. Then it takes the receptive mood when the soul is open.
On the Transmigration of Souls
I just bought this CD and found it to be very powerful. The use of words and phrases from posters and interviews following 9/11 gives this choral work an emotional impact that is truly profound. I don't know how often I'll listen to it -- I think I'll need to be in the mood for "important" music -- but I'm glad I've purchased it and have it on the shelf. Wondered what other Audiogoners felt. Thanks in advance.
