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. All of the music has now been recorded in Budapest, and we will update this page as soon as we are able to.
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.
