Joseph Vitarelli’s (THE LAST SEDUCTION, SHE’S SO LOVELY, COMMANDMENTS) lush, orchestral score evokes a contemplative, playful, and sometimes haunting reflection of filmmaker Nathaniel Kahn’s journey to piece together the life of his absent father, renowned architect Louis I. Kahn.

The MY ARCHITECT soundtrack also features two vocal performances: the devotional "Call to Prayer" (a striking solo by a Muslim muezzin recorded on location at the mosque in Kahn’s monumental National Assembly Building of Bangladesh) and the celebratory Hebrew hymn "Hayom Tamtzeinu" rendered with fervor by a cantor originally from Kahn’s home city of Philadelphia. Included also on the soundtrack is a taped snippet of Louis Kahn himself in the visionary moment captured in a track called ‘The Brick.’

The documentary MY ARCHITECT was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, and won the hearts of audiences and critics alike, placing it on a large number of best film of the year lists.

You will never hear such a beautiful expression of all the emotions that have taken a lifetime to experience when you listen to The Architect Soundtrack.

The movie was so wonderful. The "forgotten" son searching for the Father who was an architectural genius but lacked all the ability to express his feelings to humans, yet expressed it all in his architecture. An amazing man. His buildings will go on forever and his son has paid him the greatest love by trying to understand his father, through all the pain he caused the people who loved him, by making this film and putting it to the most marvelous music you can imagine. Please buy this albumn and do get the DVD movie. You will not regret it. I only wish I could shake the hand of Nathaniel Kahn and tell him the true joy his film brought to me, and Joseph Vitarelli’s music brought tears to my heart. An extraordinary film and soundtrack.
