About Transmigration:

From Telarc.com: "Robert Spano conducts the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in Transmigration, a Recording Devoted to Honor and Remembrance. The recording features the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Choruses, the Gwinnett Young Singers, and baritone Nmon Ford.

All of us have personal heroes who inspire us. Transmigration (CD-80673 / SACD-60673), the Telarc recording by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra conducted by Robert Spano is a collection of hymns and requiems for those we wish to honor and remember. The recording comprises Samuel Barber's universal expressions of loss, Adagio for Strings and Agnus Dei; John Corigliano's Elegy to lost youth; Jennifer Higdon's setting of poetry eulogizing the slain Abraham Lincoln in Dooryard Bloom, and finally John Adams's reflection of personal grief for the victims of the World Trade Center tragedy on September 11, 2001, On the Transmigration of Souls."
