Cellist Yo-Yo Ma is featured as a soloist. Also included are the original songs Hypnosis and On Children by Damien Rice, as well as On Love by Lisa Hannigan & Glen Hansard. The soundtrack is now available digitally on Amazon, where you can also listen to audio samples. Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet is directed by Roger Allers (The Lion King) and features the voices of Liam Neeson, Salma Hayek, John Krasinski, Frank Langella, Alfred Molina, John Rhys-Davies and Quvenzhané Wallis. Hayek also produced the movie, which is based on the iconic book of the same title by Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran that is one of the biggest sellers in history.
