Kundun, Soundtrack, CD
By: Philip Glass

Our Price: $18.00
Members Price: $16.20

From one of America's most respected directors, Martin Scorsese, comes a new film "Kundun." The movie chronicles the life of the fourteenth Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader of Tibet. This powerful and moving epic, resolutely true to its subject, centers on the Chinese government's violent repression of Tibetan Buddhism. The soundtrack, like the movie by the same name, is as rich in music as the film is in dramatic imagery. In fact, significant portions of the film were edited by Scorsese himself to match the musical score. The soundtrack, is from one of the world's best known composers, and a Buddhist himself, Mr. Philip Glass. Glass uses both Tibetian singers and musicians to accomplish one of the most striking marriages of music and visual in the medium.

Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion, CD
By: Beal, Jeff and Nawang Khechog

Our Price: $18.00
Members Price: $16.20

Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion is the soundtrack to Tom Peosay's moving documentary about the majestic landscape of Tibet, the culture's adherence to knowledge over violence and tragic fate of its people at the hands of Chinese Communist oppressors. Emmy-award winning composer Jeff Beal utilizes field recordings of Tibetan monks chanting and regional instrumentation to construct a vision of the land as a place where beauty and sadness are intertwined. His compositions are simplistic, yet there is power in those subtle melodies; the music sounds natural, serene and heartfelt. Tibetan-born flute player Nawang Khechog further adds to the album's atmosphere with his considerable talents on the bamboo flute. Album includes "Enhanced CD" features. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Dalai Lama Foundation.
