本輯主要收錄2005年五月首演的兩個大型合唱新作。大衛.戴爾.崔狄西(1937年生)是紐約市立學院傑出音樂教授,普利茲獎得主。《保羅.瑞維爾的騎行》取材朗費羅詩篇,描述一位美國革命關鍵時期的英雄人物。作曲家還表示,此曲也是他個人對9/11悲劇事件的反映。克里斯多福.希奧法尼狄斯(1967年生)乃羅馬大獎得主,現任教朱莉亞音樂院和琵巴底音樂院。《這裡與現在》取材中東詩人魯米(Rumi)的詩篇,內容聚焦愛情和精神成長,曲中氣氛包括狂喜、勸勉、愛情、神祕智慧、熱心與歡笑,相當多樣化。本片另外選錄伯恩斯坦《第一號交響曲(耶利米)》裡的《哀歌》樂章當做補白。曲子裡由次女高音獨唱聖經先知耶利米對廢墟、陷落城市的哀嘆。司帕諾先前專輯屢次贏得葛萊美獎,這次的9/11紀念盤,搭配頂級發燒錄音,可謂已將激勵、感動人心的力量發揮到極致!
