Dragon’s Domain Records presents the reissue of Maurice Jarre’s score for the 1972 historical drama Pope Joan, directed by Michael Anderson and starring Liv Ullmann. The film depicts the medieval legend of a devout woman who disguises herself as a man to study theology, ultimately rising through the Catholic hierarchy to become Pope. Conducted by the acclaimed composer behind Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago, the score blends spiritual weight with dramatic intensity. Newly remastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, this long-out-of-print soundtrack release features reprised liner notes by James Fitzpatrick, making Jarre’s scarce work accessible once again.

Acclaimed French composer Maurice Jarre (1924–2009) earned iconic status through his grand, evocative scores, most notably his Oscar-winning collaborations with director David Lean on Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, and A Passage to India. Over a prolific career spanning more than 150 film and television projects, Jarre partnered with a legendary roster of directors, including Alfred Hitchcock, John Huston, William Wyler, and Luchino Visconti. His remarkably diverse filmography features timeless scores for cinematic milestones such as Is Paris Burning?, The Man Who Would Be King, Witness, Fatal Attraction, Dead Poets Society, and Ghost, solidifying his legacy as one of cinema's most versatile musical masters.
