Purchase Score

Subway Memories takes as its inspiration three personal memories - each associated with a different train, one for each movement. The first movement recalls the peaceful beauty of riding over the Manhattan Bridge on the Q Train during the afternoon. The second movement explores the strangely beautiful mix of riders ending their night and starting their mornings during the odd time between night and day on the 2 train. The final movement takes its inspiration from rush hour on the 5 train.
