O Jerusalem Music By Stephen Endelman

Based on the classic book by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre, O Jerusalem tells the spellbinding events of the birth of Israel in 1948. A brilliant tapestry of shattered hopes, fierce pride, and breathtaking daringness occurs as Arabs, Jews, and British collide in their fight for control of Jerusalem. As composer Stephen Endelman describes the music, “each scene is a combination of a variety of eclectic things. In one scene, I combine monks chanting, and electric cello and an orchestra.“
