Last Dalai Lama? Philip & Tenzin Choegyal Glass

Orange Mountain Music presents the original soundtrack to the documentary "The Last Dalai Lama?" Over the period of many years, filmmaker Mickey Lemle set about capturing a portrait of His Holines the Dalai Lama, now in his mid-80s, as he travelled the world talking about his life, compassion, his discilines, and his work. The film presents a number of captivating testimonials from clerics not in the tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, to advocates and allies, to a former president of the United States.

The film commissioned original music from Philip Glass and Tibetan musician Tenzin Choegyal. The score is performed by Glass and Michael Riesman on pianos, Tenzin Choegyal on vocals and various Tibetan instruments like lingbu and dranyen, Tim Fain on Violin, Robert Black on double bass, and the Scorchio String Quartet and Choegyal performing "Snow Lion."
