"Gabriel's Oboe" is the main theme for the 1986 film The Mission directed by Roland Joffé. The theme was written by Italian composer Ennio Morricone, and has since been arranged and performed several times by artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Holly Gornik, and Brynjar Hoff, among others. The theme has been called "unforgettable" and a "celebrated oboe melody". Vocalist Sarah Brightman begged Morricone to allow her to put lyrics to the theme to create her own song, "Nella Fantasia". In 2010, Morricone encouraged soprano Hayley Westenra to write English lyrics for "Gabriel's Oboe" in her album Paradiso.
The soundtrack for the film was very well received amongst critics, being nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Score and earning Morricone the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score.
In the film, the theme is most prominently used when the protagonist, the Jesuit Father Gabriel, walks up to a waterfall and starts playing his oboe, aiming to befriend the natives with his music so he can carry his missionary work in the New World. The Guaraní tribesmen, who have been stalking him from a distance, approach Gabriel for the first time, puzzled by the sounds of the unknown instrument. The chief of the tribe, however, is displeased by this, and breaks Gabriel's oboe. This marks the beginning of the relationship between Father Gabriel and the Guaraní natives.
Alex Joffé (18 November 1918 in Alexandria (Egypt) – 18 August 1995 in Paris) was a French film director and screenwriter. He was the father of the director Arthur Joffé, as well as Marion (born 1952) and Nina (born 1956).

Roland Joffé (born 17 November 1945) is an English-born French film director who is known for his Oscar nominated movies The Killing Fields and The Mission. He began his career in television. His early television credits included episodes of Coronation Street and an adaptation of The Stars Look Down for Granada. He gained a reputation for hard-hitting political stories with the series Bill Brand and factual dramas for Play for Today.
Joffé was educated at two independent schools: the Lycée français Charles de Gaulle in London, and Carmel College in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, which was Europe's only Jewish boarding school, until it closed in 1997. He completed his formal education at the University of Manchester.
After university, Joffé joined Granada Television as a trainee director in 1973, where he directed episodes of the TV series Coronation Street,Sam,The Stars Look Down,Crown Court,Bill Brand, and Headmaster.
In 1977, producer Tony Garnett was commissioned by the BBC to direct the play The Spongers within BBCs Play for Today series. He informed the BBC drama department that he wanted to hire Roland Joffé as director, but was told that Joffé did not possess BBC clearance and was regarded a "security risk". The reason was that Joffé had attended some Workers' Revolutionary Party meetings in the early 1970s, although he never became a party member. He explained around 1988: "I was very interested in politics at that time. But I was interested in what all the political parties were doing, not just the WRP, and I was never actively involved." Only after Garnett threatened he would "go public", was the veto on Joffé's appointment withdrawn.The Spongers won the prestigious Prix Italia award.
The Middle East (also called the Mid East) is a transcontinental region centered on Western Asia and Egypt. The corresponding adjective is Middle-Eastern and the derived noun is Middle-Easterner. Formerly, the Eurocentric synonym Near East (as opposed to Far East) was commonly used. Arabs, Azeris, Kurds, Persians, and Turks constitute the largest ethnic groups in the region by population, while Armenians, Assyrians, Circassians, Copts, Druze, Jews, Maronites, Somalis, and other ethnic and ethno-religious groups form significant minorities.
The History of the Middle East dates back to ancient times, with the (geo-political) importance of the region being recognized for millennia. Several major religions have their origins in the Middle East, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; the Baha'i faith, Mandaeism, Unitarian Druze, and numerous other belief systems were also established within the region. The Middle East generally has a hot, arid climate, with several major rivers providing irrigation to support agriculture in limited areas such as the Nile Delta in Egypt, the Tigris and Euphrates watersheds of Mesopotamia, and most of what is known as the Fertile Crescent. Most of the countries that border the Persian Gulf have vast reserves of crude oil, with the dictatorships of the Arabian Peninsula in particular benefiting from petroleum exports. In modern times the Middle East remains a strategically, economically, politically, culturally and religiously sensitive region.

Alex Joffe Ph.D., editor of the BDS Monitor for the group, Scholars for Peace in the Middle East. Joffe is also a Shillman-Ginsburg Fellow at the Middle East Forum The boycott, divestment and sanction (BDS) movement is an increasingly powerful force on American campuses? But who are the organizations leading the charge to eliminate Israel, what are their connections, and who is behind them.
Alex Joffe spoke at a conference, Academic Freedom at Risk: The BDS Movement Against Israel. Conference sponsored SPME, scholars for Peace in the Middle East, American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists, and the University of Baltimore in Maryland, on April 27, 2015. He reviews the long standing tentacles of anti Israel funding via Arab, and American institutions and European NGO's.
A noted ranconteur and amateur musicologist, Alex Joffe approaches the past and present with a Benchley-like wit and the grace of a black bear tearing open a garbage can. Justly famed as a skilled excavator and cunning writer, he has worked ona diverse questions such as the Early Bronze Age of the Southern Levant, arms control and byproducts of weapons of mass destruction manufacture, the historiography of nationalism, and how to dismantle an intelligence agency. Some of this work has been surprisingly influential. In fact, no one is more surprised than him.
