I tracked down the picture of the young girl.

This video, as you may have guessed, comes from the same source as the other examples of strange pairings of music and visuals which I discussed recently in Taylor Swift, Sara Mingardo, JS Bach and a quiet WTF, and I hope brings closure to that piece. President Barack Obama announced that he had been killed by US armed forces on May 2 2011.įauré’s Requiem is one of the classic works of sacred choral music, and Michel Corboz deservedly one of the pre-eminent conductors of that repertoire. After withdrawn USSR, he founded “al-Qaeda” in the war-devastated land and took the decisive action on September 11 2001. On 1979 he joined the Afghan Mujahideen as a volunteer. Osama bin Laden was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The United States responded to the attacks, invaded Afghanistan. Nearly 3,000 victims include 343 firefighters and 60 police officers died in the attacks. The September 11 attacks were a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda led by “Osama bin Laden” upon the United States on September 11, 2001.

The mujahideen found military and financial support from a variety of sources particularly Saudi Arabia and the United States. Was a conflict involving the Soviet Union and her puppet against the indigenous Afghan Mujahideen and foreign “Arab–Afghan” volunteers. Sempiternam requiem (grant them everlasting rest). Recording on May 1972, in Casino de Berne, Switzerland The notes accompanying the video tell us: I take the video below, with its scenes both of a young girl playing a tribute of flowers to the fallen of 9/11 and of Osama bin Laden, set to Fauré‘s plangent and beautiful Pie Jesus, dona eis requiem - Blessed Jesus, grant them peace - as truly comprehensible only in that long view, where oblivion meets forgiveness… I am very fond of the long view, in which each of us becomes (physical) dust and enters (mental) oblivion - not necessarily in that order - see Shelley, Osymandias, best read by the wonderful Eleanor Bron…
