Hero #044: Jonathan Elias<br />
Born in 1956, Elias is a U.S. composer and record producer (including the groundbreakingly<br />
brilliant album Union from Yes in 1991). While he began composing music at<br />
the age of 12, and while he is best known for his movie soundtracks and award-winning<br />
advertising music, he has been deservedly most lauded for his stunningly inspirational<br />
album ―The Prayer Cycle‖ … Released in 1999, this collaboration of musical genius is a<br />
nine-part contemporary choral symphony sung in twelve languages (including Hebrew, Latin,<br />
Swahili and Urdu) by a diverse collection of stunning vocalists, including Alanis Morissette,<br />
Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Ofra Haza, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Salif Keita, and<br />
Yungchen Lhamo of Tibet.<br />
Elias is also heavily involved <strong>with</strong> project Peace on Earth, a company founded for the<br />
promotion and attainment of world peace.<br />
―Music can do things that nothing else can ... It goes places where politics cannot. It<br />
opens your heart where things cannot. It opens your mind, it opens your Soul, where many<br />
things cannot ... I think it's an important time for people to feel something cross-cultural and<br />
to feel something that can open one's Heart.‖ ~ Jonathan Elias<br />
