Here is a recording (audio only) of Frank Ticheli's American Elegy. It was composed to honor the victims and survivors of the Columbine Colorado shooting. It seems appropriate today. From the program note:
An American Elegy by Frank Ticheli is, above all, an expression of hope. It was composed in memory of those who lost their lives at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999, and to honor the survivors. It is offered as a tribute to their great strength and courage in the face of a terrible tragedy. Frank Ticheli hopes the work can also serve as one reminder of how fragile and precious life is and how intimately connected we all are as human beings.
Its a gorgeous piece, worth the time, especially today.
