| Relive the awe with the stirring Original Motion Picture Soundtrack from the most powerful biblical movie of our time, Mel Gibson’s The Passion Of The Christ. Produced in Europe, this instrumental recording captures the same powerful emotions of the movie in a beautiful and moving orchestral score. Driven by a personal mission, Mel Gibson has created the most powerful biblical movie of our time, The Passion Of The Christ. It dramatically, graphically, and accurately captues the last 12 hours of Christ's life on earth based on the combined gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, And John. The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the official music from the highly anticipated movie, scored by 3X Emmy Award winner John Debney (Spy Kids, The Princess Diaries). Produced in Europe, this instrumental recording captures the powerful emotion of the movie in a beautiful score.

Notes & Personnel Info |  | Original score composed by John Debney. | | Director Mel Gibson's THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, a graphically violent depiction of Jesus' last hours on earth, ignited a whirlwind of controversy in 2004. While there's no discernible riot-inciting content in John Debney's orchestral score for the film, it nevertheless invokes plenty of raw emotion. Debney takes a different approach than that of Gibson, who had the characters deliver their lines in Latin and Aramaic and kept things as period-perfect as possible. For his part, Debney takes a more modernistic approach, freely incorporating electric and electronic instruments into his score (not that string orchestras were exactly abundant in the age of Jesus either). The composer constructs an aural landscape alternately magisterial, foreboding, and elegant, but always fully intense enough to match up to the harrowing last hours of Jesus as portrayed in the film. |
