Classical music inspired by 9/11
6. Joan Tower- In Memory
Interestingly, composer Joan Tower's piece began life as a tribute to a friend, but it soon spiralled into something larger after the 9/11 attacks occurred. Written for string quartet, it's an atmospheric work that deals as much with the harshness of the losses as it does with the sorrow.
