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 Hamilton 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.
