Reflection On 9/11, By John Adams

2. John Adams got asked to do the piece six months before it was going to be released. He visited the site where it happened and was inspired. Adams said that he felt the need to do it, to make music feel the emotions of the events that happened on September 11, 2001

3. After listening to this song, I realized that I didn't really like the song that much. At 1:24 they started chanting names of the people that had lost their lives, which kind of captured my attention because I didn't know that there was so many. At 11 minutes I felt like it was the aftermath of what had happened. It was really loud and intense, and it was like it was the chaos of when people had realized what had happened. Although, I liked how they started the piece normally
