2. Howard Goodall - Spared
Classic FM's composer in residence saw the attacks first-hand while filming in New York, but it took him several years to be able to turn the experience into a musical tribute. Based on a poem by Wendy Cope, Goodall describes the work as a piece about how "all of us that survived, wherever we were, felt spared, and needed to reaffirm the love we shared with those close to us."
