"The9th-Allegro" is a documentary portrait of Reb. Dan Harpe, a Hasidic
Jew. Shot in Israel and the Sinai desert, "The9th-Allegro" uses the
vocabulary of 'cinema verite' and attempts to fuse divergent cultural
imagery. The movie's soundtrack is the first movement–Allegro–of
Beethoven's 9th Symphony.

"The9th-Allegro" is a 2004 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts,
Inc. (aka Ether-Ore) for its Turbulence web site. It was made possible
with funding from the Jerome Foundation.
