Frank Herbert’s Children of Dune is a three-part miniseries written by John Harrison and directed by Greg Yaitanes, based on Frank Herbert’s novels Dune Messiah (1969) and Children of Dune (1976). Produced by the Sci Fi Channel, it and its predecessor were two of the three highest-rated programs ever broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel.

Tyler wrote the complete score within the span of one month, and it is considered to be one of his best scores. The lyrics of the track “Inama Nushif” are entirely in the fictional Fremen language, which Tyler pieced together from Fremen words and phrases throughout the Dune novels. The music has been reused in several theatrical trailers, such as Master and Commander, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Star Trek.

"When I was asked to write the liner notes for Children Of Dune, I got a bit worried. It seems every time I am asked to talk about Brian and his music I sound like a gushing schoolgirl. That said, I truly find him to be one of the most passionate and hard working people I have met in this business. He is a genius in the truest sense of the word.

I first met Brian three years ago on a small film I directed called Plan B. My producers made the introduction and we instantly connected. The way we communicated and collaborated felt as though we had worked together for years. Kindred old souls.

When I got the job for Children Of Dune I knew that musically I wanted a departure from all of Brian's previous work. I wanted to have a seamless blend of ancient instrumentation, an epic orchestral score, and haunting vocals. That's all I told him. Six weeks later Brian had written and recorded 174 original tracks for COD. Six weeks later! An impossible feat. Brian performed all of the male vocals and played all the percussion and non-western string instruments. "Inama Nushif" is sung in Fremen the native language of the people of Dune. Unreal. Brian actually searched through Herbert's books and deciphered enough of the fictional Fremen language to write this powerful song. A song that drives my favorite moment of the film. 174 cues. You are hearing 36 of those on this CD. Each one, personal and powerful.

Brian had a singular experience in creating thi score. It was collaboration by encouragement. Collaboration by trust. It has been a very long time since music has effected me with such emotion and humanity. This score has elevated my work and the work of everyone else involved with Children Of Dune. We are greatful for Brian's musical vision and selfless soul bearing.

I want to continue making movies so I can continue working with Brian...it is my reward for all the obstacles a massive project such as this can throw my way.

Inama Nushif!

- Greg Yaitanes, director 'Children of Dune'
