The soundtrack album of the Mel Gibson film The Passion of The Christ will be co-released by Integrity Music and Sony. Composer John Debney wrote the scores, with credits going out to Elf, Bruce Almighty and Spy Kids.
The album will be available in UK Christian bookshops from 8th March, two weeks before the film opens in Britain. John Debney told Billboard magazine, “Music in film should always add an elegant accompaniment to the images. Restraint was key to this film so that when the music really gets big and emotional, we’ve earned it. I can’t imagine a more dramatic story to compose music to. It was challenging yet very fulfilling. I had no preconceived notions about what the score should be. I did know that the filmmakers liked an eclectic approach to the music, not wanting to make the score too literal or conventional. The result, I believe, is a nice blend between some very powerful, more traditional music as well as some very interesting ethnic and contemporary textures.?
