COMMENTARY: The late composer’s score for The Mission is not only a masterful composition, it is truly sacred music.
The Oscar-winning film composer, who died Monday at age 91, declared himself “Catholic without hesitation.”
Pope Francis awarded the composer the Gold Medal of the Pontificate last year, in honor of his “extraordinary artistic work in the sphere of music, universal language of peace, solidarity and spirituality.”
