Beautiful music for an Awesome Man, JESUS.

[@robertamyers5752]

I had a friend as a teen. He had this album and I kept asking to borrow it. This went for such a long time and then he gave it to me as a gift. I'm 73 now and think of David every time I come across this music. So beautiful.

[@timl6797]

Couldn't help but notice we are the same age and grew up enjoying the same beautiful music. I still have my original soundtrack LP of this film as well as a cd soundtrack I got much later which included more selections of this film music!

[@jorgieg1]

I'm 76 and I was in highschool when the movie came out. I was 17. I was in our high school A Cappella choir, and loved music. The soundtrack of this movie touched me. As soon as the LP came out, I bought it. At this age, it's more moving than ever. So beautiful. Always touches my heart, and can move me to tears.

[@caroltheresemueller]

A great movie and a great musical score. I cry when I hear the music, it makes me know that Jesus Christ is the Redemer of the world and ON ONE GOES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH JESUS.

Alfred Newman ...the Legend of Hollywood and of All Musical Genre.....it all started with his phenomenal masterpiece...."The Egyptian" I stand proud to have experienced this exceptional movie..... transported back then when civilizations breathed pure, new life.

The Greatest Story Ever Told began my collection of film scores when I first heard it in 1965 at the age of 11. This film's music will always be for me the Holy of the Holies of biblical film scores. Alfred Newman and Miklos Rozsa were the Deans of film music composition.

[@KellyP56]

At nine years old, I saw this movie in 1965 in Cinerama and was absolutely mesmerized by the movie and this fantastic soundtrack...

When my 2nd cousin, John Steven Lasher, interviewed Alfred Newman in 1965 he recalled Newman saying "it's my music, but it's not my score ...".

[@mosless1]

This has and always will be one of my all time favourite soundtrack/music scores. Loved it since I first saw the film many, many years ago as a child. There is none better!

[@jeremycox571]

Such a beautiful piece of music , Alfred Newman out did himself with this , it’s so compelling, ❤ you can’t get such quality of music nowadays , I ordered this off of Amazon cause I love it , ( in vinyl of course )

[@FriendofRamblinJack]

The hardest part of the entire score was listening to LIBERA ME as Jesus/Max struggled to carry the cross through the Jerusalem street to Golgotha, and the Romans ordered Sydney Poitiers as Simon of Cyrene to help Jesus carry His cross. It is, to me, the single most phenomenally immeasurably heart-rendering music I have ever heard, always brings tears. Lynn Dawson sang that piece at Princess Diana's funeral. No words to describe the fathomless depth of emotion. Love you, Fred, thank you deeply and God bless you.----US CG mom

[@allan1456]

Same with me.

[@hell0hkitty]

OMG YES.

[@barrymorentz5190]

I first saw GSET shortly after it opened in NYC. I will never forget the chills I had from hearing the Libera Me when Jesus was carrying the cross. Shortly thereafter I discovered the Verdi Requiem and it conjured up that image. And it was incredibly moving at Princess Dianas funeral. When Ailyn Perez sang it at the Met for the 20 year commemoration of 9/11 she was clearly fighting back tears. A truly divinely inspired piece, all the more remarkable considering Verdi was not religious.

[@AdrianWheeler-xm9ml]

this soundtrack signifies the Passion & Triumph of Jesus

Hello Steven! Hugo Friedhofer is an exellent idea. Maybe one video will be added over the next weeks ;-)

[@nickboschi6976]

Newman links what was to be his final religious score with themeatic motifs from his previous music for similar subjects: 'The Hunchback Of Notre Dame', 'The Song Of Bernadette', and 'The Robe', particularly the opening of the piece, which can be heard in all these scores. There is such a sense of loss and loneliness in this most beautiful score by one of the true masters of film composition. I would love to see a version of 'The Greaest Story Ever Told' with the full Newman score reinstated.

[@josephcarlbreil5380]

George Stevens butchered Newman's original score, replacing many of the cues with music Newman had previously composed for "The Robe" and "Hunchback of Notre Dame'. Newman has famously remarked, 'It's my music, but not my score'.

[@nstix2009xitsn]

​@@josephcarlbreil5380 In Hollywood, Holyland, Ken Darby, Alfred Newman's choral arranger, argued that Stevens had let other parties mislead him into making fatal errors in making Story. However, if Darby is right, Stevens had to have been in the grips of artistic senility. Artistic senility is nowhere near as dramatic as senile dementia; however, a director whose touch was formerly unerring, such as the Stevens of A Place in the Sun (1951); Shane (1953); and Giant (1956) will lose his touch.

Excellent job on capturing the stunning music soundtrack of Alfred Newman's score and beautiful choral direction of Ken Darby. The only track I wish was included was 'Into Thy Hands.' Otherwise wonderful job. Thank you Fred!

[@iangraham1390]

From St John Chapter 10 verses 17 and 18 " Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that i might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. this commandment have I recieved of my Father". Christ took upon himself the sins and the illness' of every person that ever lived or ever would live on the earth, but no matter how much pain he was in, it could'nt kill him. And when he had suffered for every one of us, he then voluntarily gave up his life. Everything that needs to be done to enable us to return to our father in heaven has already been performed. All we have to do is repent and be baptised by someone who has the authority to perform it; receive the gift of the Holy Ghost by that same authority and endure to the end, by striving to keep the commandments, and then when we stumble, repent and continue to pick our selves up.

Alfred Newman à écrit là une œuvre à la fois puissante et à la 'couleur biblique'. C'est en quelque sorte les 'Sept Paroles du Christ' de Joseph Haydn avec encore plus de puissance instrumentale et chorale.

the way that divine music engages with Haendel Alléluia in the film should have been put in extenso here because it is MORE than OVERWHEMING, it transports you in a really transcendental and unique way just appropriately put together in celestial harmony; never heard Something like that anywhere else! let alone the Samuel Barber "touch" all along...

[@paullewis2413]

This movie fascinated me so much I saw it 3 times on the giant Cinerama Screen. I was of course at a young impressionable age and not then or now religious in the conventional sense. A cinematic masterpiece flawed by some miscasting but a great undertaking nevertheless.

This score is beautiful, reverent, & fitting. I just think the film itself badly misfired in the casting of Jesus, but I also know what a difficult role it is. the film is over-all, a noble attempt. ----------WolfSky9

[@57monks]

Agreed! Von Sydow, although a very fine actor, was just too remote as Jesus. Best scene was raising of Lazarus, the look on Van Heflin's face was unbelievably moving. Best Jesus ever was Robert Powell.

Is it just me, or are there some notes that sound vaguely reminiscent of Lord of the Rings? Obviously this score was written first, so... weird!

[@barrymorentz5190]

This film got an undeservedly bad press. Yes, the cavalcade of stars was a bit much, but what I really admired about the production was that it eschewed spectacle for spectacle’s sake, so common among epic films of that era. There is a remoteness, even an other worldliness, about the film, which somehow works, set against the stark beauty of Utah. Newman’s score is moving and sad, doing without the screaming ecstatic choruses, and the Libera Me from Verdi’s Requiem is a touch of genius.

[@rhodiusscrolls3080]

Can anybody tell me why Christ in this film is called Inspirational and why that seemed to affect exactly how he was portrayed by Max von Sydow.? Is the film really in keeping with the book by Fulton Oursler?

El problema con esta película clásica es que no es nada fiel a los evangelios. Mezclan indiscriminadamente textos de los cuatro evangelios de una manera impresionante. Al parecer no tuvieron asesoría teológica. Creo que por esta razón, la película se enreda demasiado, además que se vuelve larga y aburrida. Lástima porque tenía un excelente casting y un buen director. El actor que representó a Jesús, aunque fue un gran actor en su momento, se le ve demasiado distante y frío. Destaco la banda sonora que sí es maravillosa. Para mí, sin duda la mejor producción sobre la vida de Cristo es Jesús de Nazaret de Franco Zeffirelli.
