Mary Goes to Jesus is the most solemn and exquisite piece of music from The Passion of the Christ. It is also from the most poignant scene:
The Apostle John, takes Mary to a better vantage point to possibly see, touch, and speak with Jesus as he carries the 165lb cross through Jerusalem. Mary protectively runs to a stumbled Jesus, where he says to her, "See, mother, I make all things new." The scene is heart wrenching, as Jesus is momentarily distilled from Christ -- to Mary's child.
John Debney's score was nominated for an academy award in 2004.
