Requiem, Part II

Program: #01-39   Air Date: Sep 24, 2001

Preservation of this program is made possible by a generous grant in memory of Kay Ann Ewers.

Note: As some of you may know, the production of Millennium of Music is at WETA, barely a mile from the Pentagon. For us at the program, the only appropriate tribute is with the music used for centuries as solace, tribute, and rememberance. We were joined by some friends in the field who chose from their own recordings what seemed most appropriate.
