  • Gilles says:

    This piece was commissioned by Jordi Savall after the 2004 Madrid train bombings in memory of the victims…

  • David Leibowitz says:

    A very moving work. In the score, instead of the usual sequential rehearsal letters (A, B, C, D, etc.) the rehearsal letters are A, M, E, and N. (There are also versions for string quartet and string orchestra.)
