Pacific 231

Album by Arthur Honegger & Radio Filharmonisch Orkest & Jean Fournet

Pacific 231 is an orchestral movement by Swiss composer Arthur Honegger, composed in 1923. The work evokes the sound and motion of a steam locomotive through driving rhythms, layered orchestration and accelerating tempi, reflecting Honegger's engagement with industrial themes and situating the piece within early twentieth-century orchestral modernism.
First released: 9th April 1996
