About

The composer Kevin Malone visited NY Ground Zero and met with officials of the 9/11 commission and others, and then wrote ‘Eighteen Minutes. He was encouraged by the Commission to use recordings of the air traffic controllers and came up with Requiem 77 for solo cello which is very special in recreating the tension of the events. He then wrote Angels and Fireflies as a result of a visit to the crash site of UA93 at night. This version is for flute and string orchestra.

All of the three pieces are completely engrossing, highly accessible and extremely thought-provoking.

Kevin Malone is Director of Composition at the University of Manchester, UK.
