"Passion of the Christ" soundtrack extended into symphony; world premiere in Rome

John Debney on a Soundtrack-Turned-Symphony

ROME, JULY 4, 2005 (Zenit.org).- The composer of the soundtrack for film "The Passion of the Christ" has extended his original work into a symphony.

John Debney will conduct a world premiere of the symphony in Rome this Wednesday. He arrived here Friday for rehearsals. Beforehand, he gave ZENIT more insight into his work.

Q: Could you please give us a glimpse of what we're expecting here in Rome? Is there a difference between the symphony and the soundtrack?

Debney: Yes. Certainly, this whole idea started when I was composing music for the film with Mel Gibson and I thought it would be a nice idea to write a major new work that would be based upon some of the themes I had produced for the film, but with some additional thematic material.
