Music from "The Passion Of Joan Of Arc"

I first saw this movie in my history and film class in high school. The music from this movie is pretty incredible. Personally I feel that this is one of the best movies of all time. This movie is definitely in my top five favorite movies.

Yes, I saw the choir live with the movie playing on a big screen behind them and it was AWESOME. Then they decided to stop showing the movie at the concerts because I guess they felt it detracted attention from the singing. Such good music and a great movie.

@SP999999 Really? Where did you see the music live at?

[SP999999]

@Chonch51 In Costa Mesa , CA about 10 years ago. The album had just come out, and then the group came to Costa Mesa (near South Coast Plaza) and played there. I immediately got tickets and it was so cool. Then we read a few weeks later that the singers felt like the audience didn't focus on the music when the movie played, so they stopped showing the movie.

@SP999999 Aww man that's a bummer. Do they still tour?

One of the finest compositions of the 90's put to the greatest film ever made.

Thank you so much. This is by far my favorite music ever composed for a film.

I just watched a clip of this movie in my International Cinema class and immediately began scouring the internet for the original score.

I've performed this and will be doing it again tomorrow evening (albeit not with such a stellar orchestra and vocalists.) As a true admirer of the film, I don't find Einhorn's composition complimentary in many regards. Just last month, I traveled to New Orleans where the film was presented at St. Louis Cathedral with music provided by a very accomplished organist improvising to the action. This was compelling, and a far cry more powerful than Mr. Einhorn's attempt at sounding like Philip Glass.
