9/11 theme music

As I go through my collection of instrumental/orchestral mp3s I can't help but draw connections to 9/11.

One such piece is Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. It's just hauntingly sorrowful and it really draws that emotion out of you.

Then I go further and listen to Mars from the Planets suite. Mars is the god of war and the piece fits it right. When I listened to that I had the image of our armed forces opening a can of whoop ass and laying down the nation's wrath on those terrorists.

Right now I'm on some Aaron Copland who is truly our American equivalent of Bach and Beethoven. He wrote music that reflected American ideals and aspirations.

Now for modern music there's nothing like Slipknot and hard metal to get the anger flowing.
