In Shanksville, Pa., the Flight 93 National Memorial includes Tower of Voices, a 93-foot-tall musical instrument comprising 40 wind chimes, each representing a passenger or crew member on United Flight 93. The Tower was designed by Los Angeles architect Paul Murdoch. He worked with Â鶹¹ú²úAV composer and Professor of Music Sam Pellman who devised the pitch for each of the 40 chimes. Tragically, Pellman died in a biking accident in 2017, almost a year before the Tower of Voices was dedicated on Sept. 9, 2018.
