Who Was Jesus?

This three-part drama-doc series telling the story of Jesus was broadcast by the Discovery Channel. It was a great project to work on, with Alex Marengo directing, a great story (obviously!) and dramatisations far above what you normally expect from a drama-doc.

From a musical perspective, there are so many musical and cultural references when approaching this subject… and there are certainly Jewish, Arabic and Christian influences on the score. One of the focal points of the series was the hardship endured by most people at that time in history so, while some of the music did need to be big and epic, much of it had a sparer and more minimal feel. I had a great time playing the Oud on several cues!
