Description

Composer Note This song, which sets text by Jonathan Breit, is an attempt to give expression, in some way, to the unfathomable trauma of 9/11. I envisioned a sense of grace in how New York came together to rescue and heal itself, something I experienced firsthand living in lower Manhattan when the event occurred. I've never experienced the kindness and support of strangers as I did on that day and in the difficult months that followed, and I thought of this as I wrote the music.

How graceful some things are, falling apart. Stopped clocks, a dancer tumbling, or a breaking heart. A missing child, an empty plate, the rust on a lost wind-up toy. A shattered glass. Or looming towers crumbling into dust.

— Sarah Kirkland Snider
