Aftermath
Ned Rorem
About this work:
“In the wake of the September 11th shock, I asked what a thousand other composers must have asked: What is the point of music now? But it soon grew clear that music was the only point. Indeed, the future will judge us, as it always judges the past, by our art more than by our armies.”
-Ned Rorem
