September 11
 Listen
to the audio-only version
As NPR covered
the events of September 11th, it was music that gave listeners time to reflect, to digest
the images and the impact. So many letters came to NPR telling us how
comforted they were by the music. We've put together
some of those songs here, in part to answer some of those letters wondering
what we played (precise record keeping was impossible), and also to create
an aural snapshot that in some small way tries to capture the tone of
a nation shaken and changed.
We've included music heard on All Things Considered, as well as
selections from Weekend Edition Saturday and Morning Edition.
