The Silent City by Kayhan Kalhor. This is the link on you tube but it it also on the Silk Road Ensemble's album with the Chicago Symphony. Great Impossibilities

This was written to depict the destruction of a Kurdish village by the Iraqis, but I invision the erie calm,shock, awe, destruction,resolve and healing of America surrounding 9-11. It brings tears to my eyes as I relive the recordings of the tragedy. One can hear sirens and voices. This piece is very long but is one of my favorites of classical music. About the players, all members of Yo Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble but performing as Brooklyn Rider. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WzIxBeJ78U
