Ten Commandments Movie Music for Passover

This week on “Picture Perfect,” just in time for Passover, I put my Covid-beard to the test, with a presentation of selections from Cecil B. DeMille’s “The Ten Commandments.”

From a 6-CD set on the Intrada label – the collector’s equivalent of stone tablets handed down from Mount Sinai – we’ll hear lovingly remastered highlights from the 1960 Dot and 1966 United Artists soundtrack re-recordings, the Pillar of Fire and parting of the Red Sea sequence from the original score, as heard in the film, and rare demos, prepared for Mr. DeMille by the composer, Elmer Bernstein, who announces his themes as he plays them, from the piano.

We arrive at Mount Nebo before sunset!

So let it be written, so let it be done!

Join me for the definitive “The Ten Commandments,” on “Picture Perfect,” music for the movies, this Saturday evening at 6:00 EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
