Musical score

The audio files below were written by John Stanley. Audio stems/samples from Pro Tools provide the musical performances. What you are hearing is simply from a computer, and it is phenomenal. However, real-life living and breathing musicians will make it even more impactful. In August 2024, the production team flew over and recorded with the Budapest Scoring Orchestra (Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, Cobra Kai, Parasite, Left Behind, and more). The production quality is phenomenal and will be mastered shortly.
2024 Project Overview
Advice: Listen on headphones or a large sound system with subwoofer for the full impact. Below are several orchestral cues of the Passion Play's new music to give you a taste of how the music will sound.
This is a sample of the new prelude to the Passion Play. (For a mastered version of this track by Grammy-winning producer Rob Burrell, click the link.

This audio file is the new music from the Return of the Silver through Herod and Claudia Troubled.

This audio file is the new music for the Crucifixion of Christ. It is extremely moving. Grab a box of tissues before listening to this one.

This audio file is the new music for Sanhedrin Fear (this music follows the Earthquake).

Below is an approximation of what the sound difference will be like. The voices are the same as we use now, but we hope to have new recordings with professional actors. The track will be balanced and mastered as well. What follows is the Appearance to Mary Magdalene scene as it is currently performed followed by the scene with John's music overlaid.

This is what we have been able to do with special projects at the Passion Play!
