The Prayer Cycle is a choral/orchestral album by American film and television composer Jonathan Elias, and was released by Sony Classical Records in the United States on March 23, 1999.
The project, recorded and mixed by co-producer R. Walt Vincent, consists of a nine-part contemporary choral symphony in twelve languages (Hungarian, Hebrew, Latin, Swahili, Tibetan, Urdu, Mali, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and English).
Featured vocalists include Alanis Morissette, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Salif Keita, Linda Ronstadt, Ofra Haza, James Taylor, Richard Bona, Mah Damba, Yungchen Lhamo, and Perry Farrell, who were backed by Devin Provenzano, The American Boychoir and The English Chamber Orchestra & Chorus, conducted by Lawrence Schwartz.
Music from The Prayer Cycle was featured on the 1999 ABC documentary series called "The Century", which aired in six parts March 29 and April 1, 3, 5, 8 and 10.
The Prayer Cycle was played in its entirety for two Music from the Hearts of Space programs, "The Prayer Cycle" (program 536, originally aired September 10, 1999)[2] and again as "Terror and Hope" (program 605, originally aired September 21, 2001) in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks.[3] It has only ever been performed live once, by the Branford High School choir at Woolsey Hall in New Haven, Connecticut. The piece was conducted by choir director Cathyann Roding and performed by the choir (including featured soloists) and a 45-piece orchestra.
news STORY:
Eagles Reunite (Again) For New Year's Eve
The Eagles have been named as the headline act for the inaugural New Year's Eve concert at Los Angeles' new Staples Center, according to a press release issued by Eagles publicist Larry Solters. The classic rock radio mainstays join fellow Asylum Records alumni Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt for a show that Staples officials say will cap a three-month Grand Opening celebration for the venue, which has yet to announce any other bookings.
Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt will kick off the Dec. 31 end-of-the-millennium festivities at 8 p.m. It the Eagles first U.S. concert in more than four years.
Ticket prices for the show will be scaled to nine different levels -- $1,000, $750, $500, $350, $200, $150, $125, $75 and $50. According to a Variety report, higher-priced packages, possibly including premium seating and private party access are under consideration.
The high end of the price spectrum, while remarkable for a rock event, manages to pale next to the current high mark established by Barbra Streisand's recently announced New Year's Eve concert at Las Vegas' MGM Grand, which tops off at $2,500.
Staples Center Luxury Suite owners receive tickets for all concerts, including the Eagles' New Year's Eve performance. Premier Seat holders will have the first option to purchase their seats for this event. Tickets for the concert are scheduled to go on sale May 16th.
