Daniel Pearl, the South Asia Bureau Chief for The Wall Street Journal, was kidnapped and subsequently beheaded in January 2002 by a group of Pakistani terrorists later linked to the September 11 attacks. Conceived after a conversation between Pearl's father and Reich and commissioned in part by the Daniel Pearl Foundation, "which is dedicated to cross-cultural understanding and music," Daniel Variations is the latest in a long line of Reich pieces to combine massed voices and meticulous instrumentation. Of course, Reich is far from the first modern composer to tackle the monumental questions of the day: Hindemith in Neues vom Tage, a satire of 1920s Weimar life, and Kurt Weill in Die Bürgschaft, both tackled social issues. Daniel Variations' first innovation comes from the fact that Pearl himself was a musician, playing the violin and mandolin. Sections one and three use lines from a conversation between Nebuchadnezzar the Great-- a Babylonian ruler who, according to Jewish and Christian texts, destroyed Jerusalem-- and Daniel, who became his adviser. Quotes from Pearl serve as Reich's fodder for the piece's triumphant even sections, two and four: Reich employees the same instruments, but he lets the violin lead many of the turns as a tribute to Pearl's own enthusiasms. This time, four major chords bounce off of one another, countering the darkness of their counterparts, even as the chorale sings one of the final sentences Pearl spoke before being beheaded on video: "My name is Daniel Pearl."<br> — <small> (according to Grayson Currin, In Pitchfork, [review of the Nonesuch cd Daniel Variations\|http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/12053-daniel-variations/], 2008)</small> </TD></TR> </TABLE> {/html} {br}{small}—— [Autre version du deuxième mouvement\|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46VmaEu9KKk] par le London Sinfonietta et le Los Angeles Master Chorale, enregistré en 2007 pour le cd sorti sur le label Nonesuch.{br}{br}———— ''[Alternative version of the second movement\|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46VmaEu9KKk] performed by the London Sinfonietta and the Los Angeles Master Chorale, recorded in 2007 for the cd released on Nonesuch label.''{/small} ---- {br}{br} {br}{br}
