Help me with song name.?

My teacher today showed me this song. I thoight it was really cool, but I can't seem to remember the name of it. He said it was contemporary classical music and that the song was about some prison riot in the 60's or 70's. Also the only lyrics were based on some letter a guy in the prison sent out to his brother before the riots. Also it is many mallet percussion focused but there is also a violin and a cello.
