Emi Ferguson plays Amazing Grace at the 2011 9/11 Memorial Ceremony at Ground Zero.
September 10th, 2011
James Taylor and Paul Simon are among the musicians set to perform at Sunday's 10th Anniversary of 9/11 commemoration ceremony in Lower Manhattan, city officials announced Friday.
Taylor, the mellow-voiced crooner famed for songs like "You've Got a Friend," will be performing "Close Your Eyes" and Simon will sing "Bridge Over Troubled Water," according to a new, detailed schedule released by City Hall.
Celllist Yo-Yo Ma, who also appeared on the one-year anniversary of 9/11, will be performing "Sarabande" from Bach's First Suite for Cello Solo, and solo flautist Emi Ferguson will provide a rendition of "Amazing Grace."
The final musical interlude will be a choral musical performance of "I Will Remember You."
James Taylor will be performing "Close Your Eyes" during the city's commemoration ceremony.
The ceremony is set to begin just after 8:30 a.m. with a procession of sixty pipers and drummers from the FDNY, NYPD and the Port Authority Police Department.
The Brooklyn Youth Chorus will then perform the National Anthem before a city-wide moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., led by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, in observance of the time the first plane struck the North Tower.
It is the first of six moments of silence planned to mark the time the plane struck the South Tower, the times the towers fell, the time the plane struck the Pentagon, and the time United Airlines Flight 93 crashed near Shanksville, Penn.
President Barack Obama will deliver the first reading of the service, which the mayor has said will be reserved for poetry. Afterwards, the first set of names of those who died in the attacks will be read.
Unlike previous years, the reading will include the names of 2,983 victims - from the World Trade Center, the attack on the Pentagon, those killed on Flight 93, and in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Former President George W. Bush, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former New York Gov. George Pataki, Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and former New Jersey Gov. Donald DiFrancesco will also take part in readings through the ceremony.
The leaders will be joined by the family members of 9/11 victims as well as an honor guard with members of the FDNY, NYPD and PAPD, along with men and women from the five branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, including the USS New York, which was forged out of World Trade Center steel.
The program is set to conclude at 1 p.m. with "Taps" performed by four trumpeters from the NYPD, FDNY, PAPD, and the U.S. Military.

343 men saved 20,000 lives thank you
Instant chills from the first note. I was in the first grade when 9/11 took place.... I remember what I was wearing, what seat I was in, and the look on my teachers face. That day will never be forgotten.
My dad was in the air force in Texas when his base had to go on lockdown the next few days after the attacks happened. He said he remembers that day like it was yesterday
Amazing is Grace
Absolutely beautiful...perfection! I don't know how any of those people walking around in the background could not have just been frozen in their steps upon hearing this magnificent, ethereal piece!
15 years ago America was forever changed by the attacks since then i haven't forgotten I knew people who lost loved ones and every year i continue to send them my prayers and love on the anniversary date and that lets them know that they're loved ones are never forgotten. May God continue to bless the city of New York Washington, D.C. And Pennsylvania.
Makes me think of all of my fallen brother and sister firefighters, police officers, EMTs, medics, and towing guys. They've all given the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. God bless them all. They will all be remembered.
Such passion,, makes me cry....
What a beautiful tribute.
Beautiful. Never Forget 🇺🇸❤️

Ich wahr am 11September 2001 mit der der Feuerwehr in Manhattan. Als das passiert ist. Wir haben viele Kollegen verloren. Das Lied ist sehr schön. Das erinnert mich an meine Kollegen. Liebe Grüße Nicole Knierim
The song was so beautiful, We will never forget that day.
This song is so beautiful you can hear it inside the. 9/11 memorial museum it’s such a beautiful song I’ll always remember and won’t forget those who I knew that lost there lives that day and I met several of the FDNY survivors at Notre Dame and I got one of there job coats sent to me in 2002 I still have it it was the most treasured gift I wear it every September
Wow! Best amazing grace cover...so much passion!
I was in New York on my birthday this year and I heard this song In the 9-11 memorial I honestly wanted to cry because I knew 2 people that died that day going back to the site gave me peace and knowing that they're at peace I cannot wait to go back again. To see it again loved it and I will never forget 9-11-01.
I remember seeing this on tv from Australia and was so moved by it. Hard to believe this year is 20 years since 9/11 :'(
I never tire of hearing Ms. Ferguson's performance on this occasion.
This song is played while leaving the building its beautifully done to Honor the lives that where lost that day I knew two of the victims is sad they’re gone but I know they’re at peace and it’s been almost 18 years but it’s a date I’ll always remember and won’t ever forget.
Good bless you
this brought tears to my eyes when I heard it on 9/11/11 and again just now. very moving. God bless you.
Beautiful song 19 years later tomorrow still gets me every time god bless all those who died that day and to there family’s and May god bless America
Sent chills down my back.

You're amazing, dear❤🇺🇸
I heard this song in the 9-11 memorial it puts tears to your eyes it’s so touching I can’t wait to go back and see what I didn’t see it’s unforgettable
Bless america!!
Such a a great song in honor of all those who lost loved ones on that tragic day I'll never forget September 11th and the the weeks that followed after the tragedy because I knew several people and Met several New York residence after the 9-11-01 attacks.
I transcribed and played this at my grandmother's funeral a few years ago. The jump in octave during the climax just gives it that little sugar on top to make it all that much more hauntingly beautiful. I doubt I did it any justice, but this rendition is just so perfect, I had to try. Listening to this now brings back so many emotions; it reminds me of why I started playing the flute in the first place. I wish I'd never stopped
NO WORDS.
Just beautiful…!!
I still won’t forget that morning of September 11th and even now more and more firemen are dying from cancer from the post 9/11
Beautiful and inspiring!

I remember the day when the first plane hit and when I got a call that my dad and uncle where not going to make it home
I was on the bus headed to school when the attack happened. It wasn't until we were in homeroom that we were told

Emi, my grandma has requested that I play Amazing Grace on the flute at her funeral service. I absolutely love this arrangement and was wondering where you got it and if you could send it to me I would be forever grateful. Thank you so much! :)

+Megan Aurora Megan, I am so sorry for my delay and for your loss. I imagine it is too late, but for future reference, I took Amazing Grace and put it in Bb Major (so you start on 5, or F) - played it in the first octave, then up an octave for the second time through, feeling the song in 9/8. Hope that helps!
God bless the united states... Amen!
Wow the vibrato is very overwhelming, can be a bit too much but here it actually works.
It's your lucky day! The song's older than ninety years, so it is public domain and therefore free. Here's one place you can get it: 8notes.com/scores/2765.asp
I felt so funckin bad for the victims
wow amazing! can you post the sheet music. I would like to place THIS version of amazing grace for my church recital
Beautiful! I'm a flutist also, and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get the music for this song? Thanks!
Do you have a brother with the first name Andy
very noble. written by the old slavetrader captain
Most likely Conor Jones
The Beatles and Miami Florida police are the ones to blame for 911
