2nd movement of Dvorak's New World Symphony

:

Symphony #5, New World, was written by Dvorak while he was living in Iowa for a year. The 2nd movement is lovely, quiet, calming and comforting. It can seem like a funeral dirge, or a loving embrace. I am an international Flight Attendant. The attacks of Sept 11 were devastating for me and to all of us at work. I cannot call in these comments; the tears are still flowing too easily. This loving music, written in the heartland of the US, is sent as a loving tribute to the Flight Attendants whose throats were slit by terrorists that fatefull day. Those Flight Attendants, working in the aisles of those 3 aircraft taking care of passengers, were the first Heros of 9/11. They deserve more recognition.
