THE MESSIAH ON MOTT STREET
Composed by Paul Glass
Glass pulls off another deeply felt and emotional score along the lines
of "Silent Snow, Secret Snow." Scored for solo cello, percussion and string
orchestra, Glass plays Hebraic/Eastern modes off of Christian/Western modes
to reflect the humanity of Serling's warm fable about an elderly Jew on
death's door who receives a mysterious visitor on Christmas Eve. Is he the
Messiah foretold by Hebrew prophecy ... or the Angel of Death?
