In memory of the victims of the Nov 9 terrorist attacks

My musician sister, who recentlyjoined thewonderful blogosphere, is highlighting a concert that will be held in memoryof the victims killed in the terrorist attacks that rocked Jordan on 9 November2005. Performed by the Orchestra of the National Music Conservatory on November10 and 11, the concert will feature Mozart's Requiem. Part of the requiem willalso be also performed by a small group of Jordanian musicians on November 8 in the lobby of the Amman Hyatt, which was targetedin the attacks.

Here is a quick bit of info on the Requiem as provided by the super-talented sis:

Anyone who watched the famous movie Amadeus will probably remember theWolfgang Amadeus Mozart's last composition, the requiem, who wrote it in 1791but never got the chance to finish it before his death, therefore; his friendand pupil Franz Xaver Sussmayr completed his work.

The Requiem or Requiem Mass is a service of the RomanCatholic Church. Its theme is a prayer for the salvation of the souls of thedeparted, and it is used both at services immediately preceding a burial, andon occasions of more general remembrance.

I wish I could be there to commemorate the memory of the innocentswho lost their lives on that dark November day. For more information, read Monty's Melodies.
