Mel Gibson spent $30 million on The Passion of the Christ, his painstakingly bloody film interpretation of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But because the film's dialogue uses authentic dialects of Aramaic, Latin and Hebrew, John Debney's musical score plays an important dramatic role. In some ways an unlikely choice as composer (he cut his teeth on many a lightweight comedy and kid flick), Debney rises to the challenge, first conjuring up a synth-laden soundscape whose gothic moodiness should be familiar to admirers of the work of Lisa Gerrard, then seasoning it with indigenous instruments, booming percussion and ancient modalities that give the score an almost palpable sense of time and place.
Like Jeff Danna in his earlier score for the gentler companion piece, The Gospel of John, Debney eventually gets around to genuflecting to some Hollywood choral and melodic traditions (the gospels themselves having arguably helped lay the original foundations for Tinseltown's venerable three-act structure). There's nothing cheap about his music of triumph and redemption, rooted as ever in roiling currents of ancient spiritual mysticism. Gibson's vision of the Passion has had many second-guessing his motivations and choices, but Debney's rich, evocative score proves there's nothing wrong with his ears. --Jerry McCulley, Amazon.com
