Director Mel Gibson praised the composer’s concert work. “John Debney’s musical score for ‘The Passion of the Christ’ enhanced the film’s images to an otherworldly realm,” said Gibson. “In his Oratorio, John has gone a step further and expanded his inspiration to a work that transcends its orchestrations to speak straight to the heart and soul, like a prayer.” John Debney has conducted several performances of “The Passion Oratorio” throughout the world, including the first concert in Rome, Italy. Following the performance, Archbishop Foley of the Vatican, who was in attendance, blessed Debney and the work. “As a composer, it was an experience that comes along once in a lifetime to be associated with a film that touched so many people's lives,” said Debney.
