The orchestral score was recorded with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO) and features renowned US soloists. For the film’s end credits he produced his version of Bruce Springsteen’s song Further On (Up the Road), sung by the great Joan Osborne (One of Us). This is his second collaboration with director Marc Bennett after the award winning The Tattooed Torah - an animated holocaust tale based on a children's book and narrated by veteran actor Ed Asner. Supported by Spielberg's USC Shoah Foundation, the film has been dubbed and translated into several languages and featured a score written for large orchestra, soloists and choir.
