Tuesday by Amy Fairchild
Most people singularly build lives that make them feel comfortable and safe which in fact are very small worlds which can be easily pierced and destroyed by the real world. The best comfort and safety can only be built with others to make a collective life/world in which we are all comfortable and safe.

"Tuesday", by Amy Fairchild - from the CD Mr Heart
Poignant song from a great singer/songwriter who watched from the Jersey side, as the towers fell

AFTERWORDS, for clarinet, cello, and piano. PERI MAUER, Composer
This piece is one I composed in memory of the departed. It is a work that is still, an emotional expression of the soul and spirit no longer embodied in the physical.
AFTERWORDS was recorded at Juilliard in 2007 by Steve Beck, piano, Gilad Harel, clarinet, and Alistar McRae, cello.
I would be very honored to have you program it in your Measuring Time:Music for 9/11 program on WQXR, a radio station that has been with me my entire life. I'll be very glad to send you the recording as an mp3 file, or real-mail you it to you on a CD.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Peri Mauer

Herbert Howells: Take Them, Earth, for Cherishing
This is a beautiful motet composed in memory of President Kennedy. Anything from Howells' Requiem would also be highly appropriate.

Adam and Eve by Bunita Marcus
This is a work about love and the need for understanding in all our relationships. This is something that has become essential for survival in our complex and diverse world. It is the opposite of the anger and hatred that is destroying lives all over the earth. We need to promote peace and love. That is what this music does. It begins optimistically in the Garden of Eden, and soon we find ourselves falling in love--with a theme that grows from the piano to the rest of the ensemble, then back and forth between the two, finally ending with a bold melody that expresses the essential interaction and interweaving necessary for true understanding. About this work, Alan Rich of the LA Times has written: "Adam and Eve states an eloquent case for the persistence of pure beauty in contemporary composition." It was recorded at WNYC's Americathon in 1988 and is on CRI's CD 672 You may hear a sample of the opening at:http://www.bunitamarcus.com/listen.html

Moment Away by Dana Fuchs
This is a emotional song about a very emotional time in our great country. This song has to be on Measuring Time playlist.

Moment Away
Dana Fuchs is a wonderful singer/songwriter; she deserves to be recognized with the 9/11 Tribute. She inspires people to greater heights.

It's a stirring piece of the emotions of the day. So honest and open to the fear and sadness while still standing.

Greg Tannen, In America
Greg is a friend of mine and is a local singer/songwriter. He was affected by 9/11, as all of us were, but was able to express the lost feelings in a beautiful song. There is an underlying sadness to this song, but somehow expresses the hope that all of had after the events of that tragic day. Thank you. Dan

It always reminds me of what a kick in the neck that day was. Life was kind of idyllic, we had few enemies, and all of a sudden we all had dead friends in Lower Manhattan.

Enya, "Only Time"
My first cousin's husband was one of the unsung heroes of the World Trade Center. He was in there saving others when the Towers fell. He was the Chief Engineer of the Towers and although engineers are uniformed professionals unfortunately the sacrifice of 4 of them who gave their lives while saving others has never been publicly acknowledged. But more than this he was a beautiful, loving, kind man and he and my cousin had a beautiful, loving marriage destroyed in a moment of unthinkable violence. At the time I was too traumatized to cry -- but one song got through to me and caused healing tears to flow -- Enya's "Only Time." I would love to hear this again on WNYC and WQXR as we pause to remember....
