Some of those who inspired this piece include Lawrence Davis and the composer's former governess, Virginia. In homage to Glass's Short Ride in a Fast Machine, one of its sections is subtitled a "Study of Motion as a Tabula Rasa for Soundscapes, Part II." Its movements are titled "America-Before the War," "Europe-During the War," and "After the War," and its innovative use of a digital sampling keyboard allowed it to incorporate spoken-word parts from interviews of Holocaust survivors and Pullman porters. For 10 points, name this three-movement piece for string quartet and tape by Steve Reich, which depicts varying types of locomotives.
