Samuel Barber, Adagio for Strings
:
I heard this played during the first-anniversary 9/11 memorial service, as the names were being read. Listening to the music, I could almost see the souls of the lost swirling above the heads of their loved ones. I can't hear this music, even nine years later, without also hearing in my mind names being read in the most mournful of voices.
