The tragic events of September 11th 2001 in the United States of America are the subject of this piece of music. It is written in tribute to those who lost their lives and to remember the courage of those who survived and were bereaved.
The music seeks to describe not only the emotions of that day, but also some of the particular events that took place. It is therefore, a musical narrative and reflection on how that day unfolded as well as a description of the hope and dignity that emerged.
