A Tragedy in America

Dedicated to honor the victims and to those who lost their lives in the tragic shooting in Tucson Arizona on Janurary 8 2011. It was later played by the Tucson Symphony Orchestra and planned to be a submission to the ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Award. Due to copyright issues, I cannot upload the Tucson Symphony version of the song. This is the MIDI audio version,but I have the actual TSO recording. Email me at alexanderg0916@hotmail.com for personal usage. I uploaded this on 9/11 because one of the victims in the shooting, Christina Taylor-Green (age 9) who lost her life, was born on this very day 10 years ago. Happy 10th Birthday Christina.

-Christina-Taylor Green, 9, of Tucson. Green was accompanied to the meeting by neighbor Susan Hileman. Because her date of birth was September 11, 2001, she had appeared in the book Faces of Hope: Babies Born on 9/11. She was the granddaughter of former Major League Baseball player and manager Dallas Green.

-Dorothy "Dot" Morris, 76, a retired secretary from Oro Valley; wife of George, who was wounded.

-John Roll, 63, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for Arizona, named to the federal bench by President George H. W. Bush in 1991.

Phyllis Schneck, 79, homemaker from Tucson.

-Dorwan Stoddard, 76, retired construction worker, from a gunshot wound to the head; his wife Mavy was wounded.

-Gabriel "Gabe" Zimmerman, 30, community outreach director for Giffords, and a member of Giffords' staff since 2006. Mr. Zimmerman was the first Congressional staffer killed in the line of duty.

About 17 people were injured in the attack.
Here is the Arizona Daily Star newspaper article on behalf of my tribute.
