from zorbas' Podcast Hosted by Ramsay Seikaly
KALOS ORISATE, WELCOME TO OPA FROM GREECE WITH LOVE’S PRE EASTER CELEBRATION THAT ONLY GREEKS KNOW HOW TO DO BEST. WE HAVE COMPILED AN HOUR’S WORTH OF RECORDED BIBLICAL EPIC MUSIC FROM THE CLASSICAL ERA OF HOLLYWOOD FILMS THAT DEFINED THE TRUE MEANING OF HOLY SPECTACULAR. YOU WILL BE LISTENING TO ACTUAL SOUNDTRACKS FROM SOME OF THE GREATEST COMPOSED MUSICAL THEMES ON THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JESUS THE CHRIST, BY SOME OF HOLLYWOOD’S GREATS. GREATS SUCH AS ELMER BERNSTEIN, MIKLOS ROSZA, ALFRED NEWMAN, MAURICE JARRE, AND MOVIES SUCHA AS QUO VADIS, KING OF KINGS, THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD, JESUS OF NAZARETH, BEN HUR AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. NOT NECESSARILY IN THIS LACED TOGETHER ORDER, BUT THE LIKES OF WHICH HAVE LEFT AN ENDILABLE MARK ON OUR CULTURAL PSYCHE AND EMOTIONAL BREADTH. WITH MUSIC FROM THE EARLY CHRISTIAN CHURCH AND HER PEOPLE, BETTER KNOWN BY ALL WESTERN ACCOUNTS AS THE BYZANTINES...HERE YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THE BEAUTY OF HARMONY AND THE MELODY OF ITS INSPIRATIONAL ALLURE, WHICH WOULD LATER BECOME THE ANTECEDENTS OF THE GREGORIAN CHANTS, THOSE BEAUTIFUL POLYPHONIC HARMONIES THAT EVENTUALLY BECAME THE FUNDAMENTAL MUSICAL FOUNDATON OF ALL MUSIC EVER SINCE. SO THEN IT IS WITH DEEPEST PLEASURE THAT I PRESENT TO YOU OUR EASTER MUSICAL ODYSSEY FROM THE FILM CAPITOL OF THE WORLD, HOLLYWOOD CALIFORINIA. I AM ZORBA THE MAD GREEK.
