The kidnapping and murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002 haunted people throughout the world. Minimalist master Steve Reich responded by writing this tribute to the journalist, based on texts from the Book of Daniel alongside Pearl's own words. Breaking the rules of traditional instrumentation, David Lang's so-called laws of nature require percussionists to play instruments they build themselves.
