Dragon’s Domain Records presents POPE JOAN, featuring music composed by Maurice Jarre (LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, DOCTOR ZHIVAGO, WITNESS) for the 1972 historical drama directed by Michael Anderson (AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, THE DAM BUSTERS, THE SHOES OF THE FISHERMAN), written by John Briley, starring Liv Ullmann, Jeremy Kemp, Natasha Nicolescu, Peter Arne, Leslie-Anne Down, Franco Nero, Maximilian Schell, Patrick Magee, Trevor Howard and Olivia de Havilland.

Released in 1972, POPE JOAN follows Joan (Ullmann), a pious young woman in medieval Europe who becomes a scholar of theology, disguises herself as a man, rises through the hierarchy of the Catholic Church, and is eventually elected Pope.

French composer Maurice Jarre was best known for his sweeping musical canvases for the epic films of director David Lean, including LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, DOCTOR ZHIVAGO, and A PASSAGE TO INDIA, all of which won Academy Awards for the composer. Jarre collaborated with many of the other great directors of the ’60s and ’70s, including William Wyler, Richard Brooks, René Clément, John Frankenheimer, Alfred Hitchcock, Luchino Visconti, John Huston, Elia Kazan, and others. He scored more than 150 films and television projects during his long career. His filmography includes projects such as THE COLLECTOR, RYAN’S DAUGHTER, THE PROFESSIONALS, IS PARIS BURNING?, GRAND PRIX,TOPAZ, THE DAMNED, THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING, THE LAST TYCOON, VILLA RIDES,JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JUDGE ROY BEAN, SHOGUN, LION OF THE DESERT, THE MESSAGE, FATAL ATTRACTION, GORILLAS IN THE MIST, GHOST, DEAD POETS SOCIETY, and many more.

Originally released on compact disc in 2009 and very scarce, Dragon’s Domain Records brings POPE JOAN back to the marketplace, featuring music composed and conducted by Maurice Jarre. The music has been newly mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, and the liner notes written for the previous release by James Fitzpatrick have been reprised.

POPE JOAN is a limited edition release.
