Bonhoeffer premieres on PBS on Monday, February 6
"A touching narrative on the nature of faith - powerful and shocking"
New York Times
I'm really pleased to let you know that "Bonhoeffer", the award-winning film that played at Sundance last year, will have its broadcast premiere on PBS this coming Monday, February 6, at 9 pm (check your local listings for details). I had the privilege of composing the music score for this amazing story.
The film tells the dramatic story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the young German who offered one of the first clear voices of resistance to Adolf Hitler. Bonhoeffer openly challenged his church to stand with the Jews in their time of need - a stand that cost him his life.
Composing the score was a wonderful challenge; I used the music to convey the huge swings in emotion that happen in this story - portraying everything from the crushing brutality of the Nazi soldiers to the quiet desparation sometimes felt by Bonhoeffer. The score uses a mix of live musicians and synthesized instruments, as well as a choir.
You can listen to a few shortened samples from the music score here:
"Nazi's March" excerpt
"Everything Is Gone But Hope" excerpt
"Waiting for Her" excerpt
You can also learn more about the film itself here.
Enjoy the film!
