Composer John Debney offers the soundtrack to The Passion Of The Christ.
INTEGRITY MUSIC is partnering with Sony to release the soundtrack
album of the Mel Gibson film The Passion Of The Christ. The score was
written by John Debney whose credits include Elf, Bruce Almighty and
Spy Kids. 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."
