About 
25 
families 
and 

individuals gathered on the 
University of Michigan’s Ingalls 
Mall to listen to a 9/11 memorial 
recital Sunday. Theconcert was 
a performance of the carillon 
bells, which are housed in 
Burton Tower and controlled 
by a series of levers and pedals. 
The recital took place at noon.

Tiffany 
Ng, 
assistant 

professor of carillon, organized 
the concert and performed. Ng 
said she felt this recital was part 
of her duty to the community.

“As University carillonist, 

playing both for the campus 
and the community, I strongly 
feel that it’s my responsibility 
on days like this to provide a 
place of reflection and a place of 

commemoration,” she said.

She added that given the 

carillon’s ability to portray a 
series of emotions, memorials 
like this are an important part 
of the purpose of the carillon as 
an instrument.

“I think that’s one of the roles 

of the carillon, that we don’t just 
peal for joyous occasion and to 
accompany people’s lunchtime 
breaks, but that we also bring 
a seriousness and solemnity 
to the campus soundscape for 
those days of memorial, when 
we remember in particular the 
first responders who all over the 
country, every day, are putting 
themselves on the line for us,” 
Ng said.

The recital opened with a 

performance by Ann Arbor 
Fire Chief Larry Collins, who 
rang the “Last Alarm.” This 
involved the ringing of the 

largest carillon bell three times, 
symbolizing the three rings of 
a fire station’s bell to signal the 
end of the fire to memorialize 
the first responders who lost 
their lives on Sept. 11.

Chief Collins, who has been 

in his current office for two 
years, said it was a unique and 
moving experience for him.

“I can say I have never done 

anything like this before,” he 
said. “I was really honored to be 
asked to participate.”

He added that the memorial 

was an effective way to honor 
the past and the tragedy 15 
years ago.

“It means a lot to the 

community; it means a lot to the 
first responders,” Collins said. 
“Time has a way of diminishing 
the impact of tragic events 
that transpired, and it’s really 
appropriate, I think, to give 

pause and reflect on what 
transpired.”

After the “Last Alarm,” 

Ng performed several pieces 
on the carillon. The first was 
“In Memoriam — September 
11, 2001,” which composer 
John Courter composed a 
few days after the attacks 
in 2001. Ng said she chose 
the other pieces based on 
the sound of this particular 
piece.

“I chose other pieces 

that were in a similar style, 
of 
magnificent, 
resonant 

and 
mournful 
music, 

interspersed with a couple 
more lyrical pieces and a 
piece that hopefully gives 
people hope, ‘Imagine,’ ” 
she said.

Ng also noted that the 

memorial was important 
to her personally, having 
started her undergraduate 
studies at Yale University 
shortly before the attack in 
New York.

“It was sort of the first 

thing that happened to

it happening but my mom told me that 

school was cancelled and she came to 

pick me up”. LSA sophomore Kyle Frank

was quiet and concerned”. Nursing 

sophomore Jen Battaglia

“I came home from school normally 

and my babysitter’s older kids came

told them that planes flew into buildings 

and I obviously didn’t understand the 

significance” Engineering freshman 

Parker Misch 

“I don’t remember much but my 

mom picked me up and brought me 

home. She didn’t tell me anything
