    Well the Bible theme is playing on the website so perhaps…

    I would Imagine That He Did at least 55%

    For me it depends on the style of the score – they would bug me in more "lyrical" scores (like Da Vinci Code, PotC 3), but they are great when it comes to the sheer force. :)

    While TDKR can truly be called a Hans score, however, I do understand the question with regards to Inception (which I mentioned on that page), where Lorne not only arranged the score as heard in the film but wrote a couple themes himself (Fischer's theme, Kick It Suite, and possibly even Saito's theme). In that case I would say he should be given credit as a co-composer.

    That would be awesome. It shouldn't be hard, as Lorne himself is lately so generous with his own material. SWEENEY and RESTLESS both offer legal complete scores, so why not THE BIBLE? It seems it is up to Hans Zimmer's views regarding his contributions…

    Also, it feels like this score was done with sampled orchestra and live players, so the re-use should be minimal.

    Our souls need a complete recording sessions. Terrific mini-series and divine score!!! The official album is also fantastic. I love this masterpiece *__*
    cheers

    I'm loving this score and some of the great variations of the themes throughout the series. What's the possibility more score will be released?

    The use of "Faith" on screen is fantastic (Crucifixion scene)… :)

    I think the soundtrack is nice enough, like a mix of prince of egypt and gladiator (mainly due to Lisa Gerrard of course). I didn't expect anything ground-breaking new of a mini-series about the Bible, tbh.
    This will keep me above water til Man of steel drops ;)

    In reading all that is here, I must admit the criticisms of Hans and Lorne are quite strong, and I'm not certain as to why. It seems like if the output is not some bombastic output, or if his (Hans') work is not singular, it's a disappointment. What gives? I personally think this is a wonderful, inspired and spirited work. Seems like the quotient for Hans has been set unreasonably high. This score is the eventual outcome of a terrific collabation between Hans, Lorne, and Lisa, written to underscore a profound religious film. It fits the series perfectly, so far. For those that "expected more", what does that mean? There are themes, variety, collaboration, structure, and a musical spirit that connects to the religious aspects — who said it must be overtly precise…..rather, quite profound in just about every place so far, simple in others, and overall, the just right match to the scripture it was meant to support.

    Hans (and Lorne, by extension in this example) has an evolving style. Everyone was slobbering over TDKR. This is just as excellent — shame the score on CD is only a small representation of the larger work. Certain if that was available, the critics would be at bay.
