I tried to avoid most of the media coverage of 9\/11’s fifth anniversary. I found it too maudlin. When JFK was assassinated, there was — in addition to commentary, flashbacks and on-the- spot reporting — an extraordinary amount of serious classical music programming, including majestic masses and Te Deums by Mozart and Beethoven, played live by major orchestras on the following Sunday.
