  • Thanks I´ve been looking everywhere for this, could you upload the whole piece??

  • I'll try to, my friend, but the Utube has a time limit and I hate to cut songs, I found this really irritating....

  • There is something very special, very moving, very direct about this piece of music. In slitting Daniel Pearl's throat, his terrorist captors heartlessly denied him his voice and life. Yet this piece defiantly and repeatedly affirms his identity--his intuition of himself, his place in the world--using his own last (or last recorded) words. Even more, it dares to do so sonorously and joyously, as if striving to negate the negation of Daniel life's. He is: Daniel Pearl.

  • I just saw this live - what an emotionally wrenching piece.

  • @Mrwilwak Yes, the tragedy would have much less had he been homely looking.

  • I really love this piece because of an emotional connection I have with it- I was listening to it while being in the subway, a little loud apparantly. My neighbor in the subway then suddenly asked me what I was listening to, because it sounded fascinating but outlandish to him. So then the rest of the ride I introduced him to Steve's ouevre and to contenporary art music in general. We're still friends- it may sound like a cliche but- music connects!

  • Steve really catches the frequency of Daniel and Nature in the air.........i don´t know much about him.......but i can imagine.  Love the voices!

  • And just think- if Daniel Pearl hadn't been murdered, we wouldn't have this awesome song. It's the circle of life.

  • Me llega al alma esta pieza!! steve woww

  • Daniel my brother, you are older than me

    Do you still feel the....ARGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!­

  • Moving, sad, but ultimately life affirming. I love Reich, his music is so uplifting, positive, beautiful! Thank you for uploading this, I have been looking everywhere for this piece;)))))))))

    Love & Peace

  • @Rafaelbor why dont you just buy it?
