ONE MINUTE TRIBUTE: 9/11/2001
The Lehman Percussionists | Gheorghe Costinescu, conductor and director; photograph by Dan Nguyen
Composer's note:
I composed the music with this title for percussion quartet for the 9/11/2001 Remembrance that took place on the Lehman College Campus/CUNY, Bronx, New York, on September 11, 2002. It was performed under my direction by the Lehman Percussionists. Among the instruments used, the side drum emerges with a leading pattern that confers upon the piece a rather solemn, ceremonial character.
In 2015 I completed the short film with the same title, combining the recording of the percussion work and my animation of Tribute in Light photographed by Dan Nguyen in 2009.
“Unlike the many literal, maudlin musical commemorations of 9/11, this piece was succinct and left the listener to provide their own, personal response.” – George Grella, New York Classical Review
