On september 11, 2001, a milestone was passed in the long and inehaustable story of murders and massacres which mark the history of mankind : for the first time, innocent human beings were used as projectiles to kill other human beings at random.

Through this cantata I have used the only mode I had to express my sympathy toward so many innocent victims. The musical composition is inspired by two poems written by amateur authors - first of them is American citizen, while the second is South African.

This cantata has been recorded in 2003 by the "Menestrels d’Antibes" vocal group and Sarah Guisol, soprano.
