I gave in and admitted that God was God.

With an excellent Pirates score release this past week, I decided to devote my first entry to Hans Zimmer and Stephen Schwartz's The Prince of Egypt (1998) collaboration. Hans Zimmer's score contributions are beautiful, particularly "The Burning Bush", a haunting track that perfectly captures the exhilarating, but gentle, brilliance and intrigue of God. Stephen Schwartz contributes some powerful songs to the soundtrack, "Deliver Us" being the highlight. Coming in a close second, "When You Believe" builds from a gentle prayer to a illustrious exclamation of the freedom found when one believes in releasing power of God.

"Ashirra ladonai ki gaoh gaah!
(I will sing to the lord for he has triumphed gloriously!)"

The Prince of Egypt is an excellent soundtrack that boasts the best of both Hans Zimmer and Stephen Schwartz.
