Different Trains (1988) - Steve Reich


Wikipedia - "Different Trains is a three-movement piece for string quartet and tape written by Steve Reich in 1988. ... The work's three movements have the following titles: America-Before the War (movement 1), Europe-During the War (movement 2), After the War (movement 3). During the war years, Reich made train journeys between New York and Los Angeles to visit his parents, who had separated. Years later, he pondered the fact that, as a Jew, had he been in Europe instead of the United States at that time, he might have been travelling in Holocaust trains."
