I know she'd chosen some songs prior to 9/11 because the tribute in Canada where she sang to the recorded symphony was pre-9/11 (I think, but am not sure about that since it seems like that was rather recent... must be the power of those enthusiastic posts about it.) I read somewhere that she gave Vince Mendoza a list of songs at the last minute that she wanted him to orchestrate, and my thought was some of those songs may have been post-9/11, when there was the expectation of bombing Afghanistan. Or, if they are all pre-9/11 choices, she's more of a visionary than I realized! Debra Shea P.S. I'm still intrigued and curious as to why she would chose Dawntreader. I'm glad she did, just wonder what her choosing reasoning was, for any of the songs.
