September Trilogy
for string orchestra
by Andrew Rudin
Composed in 2007 and only recently premiered in Philadelphia by Orchestra 2001, SEPTEMBER TRILOGY moves from the anxiety, mounting dread, and unexpected event, through a somewhat cynical militaristic demonstration, to a soulful contemplation and a search for understanding. The titles and the subsequent realization that it appropriately commemorates the events of 9/11 were understood by the composer only after having completed the work.

| Mr. Ramsey’s Requiem sets the traditional Latin mass for the dead. It is intended to be a liturgical work, but is also at home in a sacred concert setting.
