Review by Gunilla Tegen

The Robe Expanded Original Score by Alfred Newman is a masterpiece of film music. This album features the complete original score from the 1953 film, along with additional music that was not included in the original release. Newman's music perfectly captures the epic nature of the film, bringing to life the story of a Roman centurion's conversion to Christianity.

The album opens with the "Main Title," a sweeping orchestral piece that sets the tone for the rest of the score. From there, the music takes the listener on a journey through the film's many emotional highs and lows. Newman's use of choral voices adds a spiritual dimension to the music, reflecting the film's themes of faith and redemption.

One of the highlights of the album is the "Palm Sunday Procession," a joyous piece that celebrates the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. The music is filled with energy and excitement, and the use of a children's choir adds to the sense of innocence and wonder.
