This album is my work, the other, Passion Sources, represents a selection of some of the traditional music, sources of inspiration & location recordings. I was excited to be asked to work on the music. When I first discussed the project with Martin Scorsese in 1983 I wanted to find out how he was intending to film this controversial novel. He wanted to present the struggle between the humanity & divinity of Christ in a powerful & original way, & I was convinced by this commitment to the spiritual content & message. He's an excellent & very musical director & working with him has been a great experience. After we finished mixing the film, there were some unfinished ideas that needed developing, & I took some extra time to complete this record. There are several pieces that were not able to be included in the film & I felt the record should be able to stand as a separate body of work. I chose the working title for the film - Passion We recorded some of the finest singers & soloists in the field of world music & set the score on a backdrop of traditional North African rhythms & sounds. It was a wonderful experience working with such different & idiosyncratic musicians. They came from Pakistan, Turkey, India, Ivory Coast, Bahrain, Egypt, New Guinea, Morocco, Senegal & Ghana. For many of them working with this material was something quite new & they were very enthusiastic. The soundtrack is full of the spirit of their performances.
