A memorial to the events of 9/11 by the people of September 11, 2011, 7pm Meymandi Concert Hall progress energy center for the performing arts raleigh, nc

Presented in cooperation with: Personal Reflections on September 11, 2001

There are few events in human history that galvanize the whole world through their sheer awfulness. Those of September 11, 2001, were just such events. We each have our story of that day, and mine is not very remarkable, program except for its geographical proximity to those events.

Having flown into Boston, Massachusetts, on September 10 on American Airlines, I felt too close for comfort to all that happened. “Comfort” was not a word in anyone’s vocabulary for months following that date. I was to have commenced my duties as musical director of the Handel and Haydn Society the following day in rehearsal for a performance of Haydn’s oratorio The Creation just as we were witnessing the most wicked acts of wanton destruction in New York and Washington, D.C.

Haydn’s masterpiece actually begins with a Representation of Chaos which is chilling in its wordless musical effect. However, we felt that music’s power to soothe was more important at that time and so, as now, turned to Mozart.

The Ave verum corpus, written some six months before his own death, beautifully captures the utter pathos of human mortality. But it is through the music of the Requiem that we fully explore the depth and breadth of human emotion. Just as 9/11 affected us all, this music speaks to each and every one with a message that is both personal and universal. Take from it what you will, but know that this music will outlive us mere human beings and remember the prophetic words of Antonio Salieri in Sir Peter Shaffer’s playAmadeus : “It will help the ages to mourn.”

Some have God’s words; others have songs of comfort for the bereaved. If I can pluck courage here, I would like to speak directly to the dead — the September dead. Those children of ancestors born in every continent on the planet: Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas … born of ancestors who wore kilts, obis, saris, geles, wide straw hats, yarmulkes, goatskin, wooden shoes, feathers and cloths to cover their hair. But I would not say a word until I could set aside all I know or believe about nations, war, leaders, the governed and ungovernable; all that I suspect about armor and entrails. First I would freshen my tongue, abandon sentences crafted to know evil — wanton or studied; explosive or quietly sinister, whether born of a sated appetite or hunger; of vengeance or the simple compulsion to stand up before falling down. I would purge my language of hyperbole; of its eagerness to analyze the levels of wickedness; ranking them, calculating their higher or lower status among others of its kind. Speaking to the broken and the dead is too difficult for a mouth full of blood. Too holy an act for impure thoughts. Because the dead are free, absolute; they cannot be seduced by blitz. To speak to you, the dead of September, I must not claim false intimacy or summon an overheated heart glazed just in time for a camera. I must be steady. I must be clear, knowing all the time that I have nothing to say — no words stronger than the steel that pressed you into itself; no scripture older or more elegant than the ancient atoms you have become. And I have nothing to give — except this gesture, this thread thrown between your humanity and mine: I want to hold you in my arms and as your soul got shot of its box of flesh to understand, as you have done, the wit of eternity: its gift of unhinged release tearing through the darkness of its knell.
