Silverscreen Beats: Godspell
Miles Jupp presents a series looking at music in movies about Jesus.

Composer Stephen Schwartz reveals that he took five weeks to write the classic songs such as Day By Day. Another song, Beautiful City, became the unofficial anthem of the World Trade Centre disaster, and virtually all the words in Godspell are derived from the New Testament.
