On 11th September 2001, the world witnessed the most horrific terrorist attack in history. 2001's Last Night of the Proms changed its plans and performed instead a tribute to the victims around the world. Of the traditional final sequence in the second half, Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No.1, Henry Wood's Fantasia on British Sea-Songs, and Rule, Britannia! were replaced with John Adams' fanfare Tromba Lontana, Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, Spirituals from Michael Tippett's A Child of Our Time and the Choral Finale from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
