Album Description
*The murder of Wall Street Journal writer Daniel Pearl in 2002 by Jihadi extremists shocked the world. In 2004, David Heath received a call from Pearl's father, who wanted to commission a piece in Daniel's honor. *"Elegy for Daniel Pearl for violin and piano" was used by Muslim filmmaker Ahmed Jamal as the theme music for his documentary The Journalist and The Jihadi. The film was shown on HBO and CNN in 2006, and was recently nominated for two Emmy Awards. *"Song for Daniel Pearl" is a reworking of the main theme from "Elegy for Daniel Pearl" and is played here by world renowned performers John Anderson and Andrew Lucas.
