The Mission: Original Soundtrack From The Motion Picture

CD Details

Ennio Morricone composed this Academy Award-nominated score for Roland Joffé’s film about 18th-century Jesuit missionaries working to convert indigenous peoples while facing opposition from slave traders. The music reflects the film’s epic scope and moral conflict through a sophisticated blend of liturgical choral elements, native percussion, and Spanish-influenced guitar work. Morricone’s approach balances grave and lyrical passages with moments of tension, showcasing his dramatic range beyond his famous Western film scores. Standout themes like “Gabriel’s Oboe” and the title track demonstrate his gift for memorable melodic writing.

This is a CD soundtrack release featuring Morricone’s complete score, with tracks including “On Earth As It Is In Heaven,” “Falls,” “Gabriel’s Oboe,” “Ava Maria Guarani,” “Brothers,” “Carlotta,” “Vita Nostra,” “Climb,” “Remorse,” “Penance,” and “The Mission.” Add this essential film score to your collection at a used price that won’t strain your budget.
