Charles Mingus's "Theme For Lester Young" (goodbye porkpie hat)
This song grabs me every time; makes me stop to listen more carefully, observe more closely, to be present more fully.
Mark Berkowitz
Barber's Adagio
The solemn,ponderous,thoughtful,mournful quality lends itself perfectly to what is truly one of the most horrific days in American History.
Chrystie
Our Prayer by Brian Wilson
This was a song that I gravitated to during the aftermath of 9/11 - I played it over and over again. It's a song that engaged both my sadness and my hope for this country and the world after the events of 9/11.

Gorecki: Symphony #3 Sorrowful Songs
On the afternoon of 9/11, still in shock, I turned on the radio and heard this amazing music for the first time. It held me, enveloped me and comforted me as it expressed fully the depth of this tragedy. Gorecki's symphony speaks of motherhood, separation and war and sorrow, mostly sorrow. I will forever associate this piece of music with that fateful day and each time I listen to it I am reminded of our profound loss.
ps I believe it was wnyc that played the music but perhaps not

Giovanni Bottesini: Elegie in D for double bass
Sometimes music really is of time and place. WQXR - Cleo? - played this piece during the week of 9/11. It is contemplative, comforting and written for an unusual instrument as soloist. The association - the music, the time and the announcer - is golden.

Gorecki Symphony #3
As it is called.. the symphony of sorrowful songs.. it played on WNYC that day I remember and it has been the recurring soundtrack to all of our subsequent 9/11 anniversaries. the depth of the sorrow of those lives lost that day as we experienced it here in Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn, home to many rescue workers, could not be expressed more soulfully than Gorecki's Symphony #3.

Lorraine Hunt Lieberson singing Bach
I hear the immediacy in her voice, absolutely present in the moment, open, vulnerable and completely human. When we experience such a great trauma such as 9/11 we are brought back to that liminal place within ourselves. Her music expresses that raw emotion without being overly dramatic!

In America - Greg Tannen
It's a beautiful song by a dear friend who was there with us. I lived on Bank Street at the time and having close friends around was so important. Greg was able to put what we were feeling and shared into this song.

In A Fog - Remember
We commissioned this new work by the British composer Julian Grant, entitled “In a Fog - Remember.” Grant’s music is set to two poems written by poet Anne Pierson Wiese. Grace & Spiritus Chorale of Brooklyn commissioned the piece with the theme of remembrance to commemorate the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001. We will perform it in a Memorial service on 9/11 at 3 pm, at Saint Ann's Church, Brooklyn Heights. The Brooklyn Symphony and the String Orchestra of Brooklyn will also perform along with speakers and writers.

Vivald's "The Four Seasons"
It reminds me that life is cyclical and that as one season follows the next so does good follow evil.

"In America" by Greg Tannen
Simply, the words to the song speak volumes.

"An Ending (Ascent)" by Brian Eno
Originally music for a film about the Apollo space program, this sublime piece expresses the triumph of human imagination and ingenuity over the vast darkness of space and our fears.

Aceldama
This piece is for string ensemble and solo flute and written by Mary Ann Joyce-Walter. (It was played on Marvin Rosen's Princeton radio station 103.3 and online.) The strings play a slow fugal-like texture that represents a field, Aceldama "Field of Blood," near Jerusalem where Judas is said to have tossed the 20 pieces of silver. It is a metaphor for the "fields of blood" today, especially our American 9/11; the solo flute represents a lone human being walking in this place of pain and mystery. The piece has a solemn and beautiful mood.
