Don't waste time with music. It will just allow people to drift into their own spaces. I realize that most people are comfortable believing what they want to believe, especially about something as broadly awful as the 911 attacks. Music, as opposed to facts coupled with varying opinions, will let people continue to believe what they want.
The reality - from all points of view - of the event needs to be made clear. Differing opinions on the event (its antecedents, contemporaneous events, and subsequent events) need to be articulated.
We need a big picture with the ability to zoom in to the (often unpleasant and ideologically discordant) details.
