The twelfth classical recording: #985 Steve Reich - Different Trains
As we jump forward in time, we come to a piece that still has the classical elements from before, but also has more modern elements - part of the song coming from tape. It shows how classical in this list isn't the opposite of modern, but more refers to the instruments and style used.
As a longer piece, this evokes the feeling of being on a train - the string instruments following that beat - also creating the urgency of parts of the journey. The three movements have a distinct feel to them - even if coming from the same base - and evoke these different mindsets. Never leisurely, but the second movement - representing the holocaust - creates a far more anxious environment. The third feels brighter - a sunrise of sorts came to mind listening to the music.
The changes in technology really benefit the piece. It adds an interesting layer, partially attempting to integrate the sounds into a melody in a way I wouldn't expect to be possible. It's very visual in a way you hear in very little music, without needing the actual music or further input.
