Intrada announces the premiere release of one of Maurice Jarre's most requested scores: the Universal Pictures supernatural drama Resurrection (1980). The score is in pure Jarre tradition, composed for full orchestra. But Jarre's affinity for the American South also manifests in several ways: instrumentation (banjo, steel guitar, dulcimer and especially harmonica are all on display); source music, such as the bluegrass number for the picnic scene; and underscore, all to reconnect our main protagonist to her rural roots. Jarre develops most of his score from four distinct melodies, all of which liner note writer John Takis analyzes in the album's program notes. Listeners will be surprised by the wealth of music they haven't heard before. As Takis writes, "For all the thematic richness and emotional heft of Resurrection’s score, even listeners who have seen the film many times will have experienced a mere portion of what Jarre wrote and recorded. Much of his music was not used in the film, and other cues were either shortened or moved from their intended position." This release was produced and mastered by Chris Malone, who also mixed the original 24-track sessions that were stored at Universal in perfect condition. This long overdue release of Jarre's magnificent score, some 44 years after the film's release, could not sound better.
The dramatic film, directed by Daniel Petrie, stars Ellen Burstyn as Edna McCauley, a woman who undergoes a profound spiritual transformation after a near-death experience. Following a car accident, Edna discovers she has the ability to heal others, which leads her to grapple with her newfound gift and its implications. As she helps those in need, she faces skepticism, personal struggles and moral dilemmas, ultimately seeking to understand the true meaning of her powers and her place in the world. The film explores themes of faith, healing, and the intersection of the physical and spiritual realms.

INTRADA Special Collection。 モーリス・ジャールの最もリクエストの多かったスコアのひとつ、ダニエル・ペトリ監督、エレン・バースティン、サム・シェパードなど出演の超自然ドラマ『レザレクション／復活』（1980年）のオリジナル・サウンドトラックが世界初リリース！
トラックリストこのスコアは、フルオーケストラのために作曲された純粋なジャールの伝統に則ったものである。しかし、ジャールのアメリカ南部への思い入れは、次のような点にも表れている。楽器編成（バンジョー、スティール・ギター、ダルシマー、特にハーモニカが登場する）、ピクニック・シーンのブルーグラス・ナンバーなどのソースミュージック、そして主人公のルーツを彼女の田舎に結びつけるアンダースコア。ジャールはスコアのほとんどを4つの異なるメロディーから展開しており、ライナーノーツライターのジョン・タキスはアルバムのプログラムノーツでそのすべてを分析している。リスナーは、これまで聴いたことのない音楽の豊富さに驚くだろう。
“『レザレクション／復活』のスコアが持つテーマ性の豊かさと感情的な重厚さについては、映画を何度も観たリスナーでさえ、ジャールが作曲し録音したもののほんの一部を体験したに過ぎないだろう。彼の音楽の多くは映画では使われなかったし、他のキューは短くされたり、意図された位置から移動させられたりした。”
このリリースは、ユニバーサルに完璧な状態で保管されていたオリジナルの24トラック・セッションのミックスも担当したクリス・マローンによってプロデュース、マスタリングされた。映画公開から約44年、ジャールの壮大なスコアのこの長い間待たれていたリリースは、これ以上のサウンドはないだろう。
交通事故で夫を失い、自らも重症を負って生死の境を彷徨った女性が、奇跡的な生還の後、ヒーリング（癒し）能力を身につけていることに気がつく。彼女は障害や怪我に悩む多くの人々を癒し、夫の死で深く傷ついた自らの心が癒えるにつれ明るさを取り戻して新たに恋人もできる。再び幸せを掴んだかに見えた彼女だったが、狂信的なキリスト教徒である父親に育てられた恋人は、彼女の能力を目の当たりにするにつれて彼女をキリストの再来だと考えるようになる……。
