A MEMORIAL TRIBUTE TO THE FALLEN HEROES OF SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001

This album was created by members of the Long Island community, which was particularly hard hit by the 9/11 disaster as many of its members worked at the World Trade Center. It was intended to bring comfort to the many families affected by this tragedy in time for the holidays that year. It was produced by Mason G. Senft, a Greenvale musician, who, as a member of the Republican Presidential Task Force that year, donated the album to the Republican National Committee. Copies were included in the collections of many of the local libraries on Long Island where they are available for loan. The many professional artists who contributed their time and talents to this project included illustrious Metropolitan Opera stars such as Frederica von Stade as well as community members who, though not professional insofar as they devoted their lives to pursuits other than music, nevertheless desired to share their concern and love for these families through their passion for music. The royalties and production costs were absorbed by the artists and the distribution was effected by December 2001 with acknowledgments from then Mayor Rudy Giuliani and President George W. Bush.

Mason G. Senft is a professional accompanist, vocal coach, musical director and sound engineer. His studio is located near Brookville on the North Shore of Long Island in Greenvale, New York.
After ten years with the Music Department of Adelphi University early in his career, his professional activities required his full attention accompanying such diverse artists as Jane Powell, leading Hollywood actress in the national tour of the Broadway show, “Irene,” to Frederica von Stade, international mezzo soprano with whom Mason has appeared extensively in concert from Harvard University to honor Prince Charles to Carnegie Hall and even the White House where he accompanied Ms. Von Stade in a concert in honor of Queen Margrethe of Denmark and her husband, Prince Philip.
Mason has a fully equipped professional recording studio where he orchestrates and records professional soundtracks, some of which have been included in Hollywood films such as Barry Levinson’s, “Liberty Heights.” In 2001 he produced "A Memorial Tribute to the Fallen Heroes of September 11th, 2001." Many artists from the Metropolitan Opera as well as local residents contributed tracks to the project and copies were distributed to many of the families of the victims of the World Trade Center disaster. It has been included in the collections of many of the libraries throughout the region.
Additional information is available in his biographies included in “Who’s Who in America,” and “Who’s Who in the World,” published by Marquis and available in just about any library nationwide or by checking his website: www.masonsenft.com.
