JCS BACKING TRACKS ACT I 

This is the beefiest orchestration of this show I've EVER heard! Holy cows!

For the mobile users, who can not use description links to times: 00:00 - Overture 04:34 - Heaven on their Minds 08:53 - What's the Buzz 11:19 - Strange Thing Mystifying 13:06 - Everything's Alright 16:54 - This Jesus Must Die 21:05 - Hosanna 23:49 - Simon Zealotes 27:11 - Poor Jerusalem 29:00 - Pilate's Dream 30:50 - The Temple / The Lepers 36:04 - Everything's Alright Reprise / I Don't Know How to Love Him 40:57 - Damned for all Time / Blood Money

This is one of the best orchestrations Ive heard of this show..professional or not. Gotta hear Judas Death in act 2...that's gotta be insane.

Thank you SO much for these! I'm Judasing in a bit less than two months, and am VERY grateful for these, especially Blood Money, because wow I cannot find that anywhere else. Rock n roll!

This is the kind of stuff that makes the Internet great. THNKS

A 80's version of Jesus Christ Superstar. Incredible :D

This version of Overture is freaking bone chilling! It sounds so cinematic and powerful! We need another JCS film (preferably animated) with your arrangements! It'd be so cool!

Dude... This is ABSOLUTELY incredible! Some of the BEST instrumentals I have ever heard for these songs! Holy shit you are talented!

I'm singing the whole thing right now!

The intro for This Jesus Must Die is terrifying!

Great! I love the soundscapes you've created by diverting from the traditional orchestrations, can't wait to hear act 2!

Totally amazing effort producing this - take a bow mate! The effort you put into this needs to be properly acknowledged :)

This is sooo good! INSANELY GOOD!!! Oh my days!!!!! You are incredibly talented!

Now, if I help you, it matters that you see These sordid kind of things are coming hard to me It's taken me some time to work out what to do I weighed the whole thing out before I came to you I have not thought at all about my own reward I really didn't come here of my own accord Just don't say I'm Damned for all time I came because I had to, I'm the one who saw Jesus can't control it like he did before And furthermore I know that Jesus thinks so too Jesus wouldn't mind that I was here with you I have not thought at all about my own reward I really didn't come here of my own accord Just don't say I'm Damned for all time Annas, you're a friend, a worldly man and wise Caiaphas, my friend, I know you sympathise Why are we the prophets? Why are we the ones Who see the sad solution, know what must be done? I have not thought at all about my own reward I really didn't come here of my own accord Just don't say I'm Damned for all time

You need to do more musical theatre orchestrations! You're so good

This is fantastically well done!!

Fantastic!! Keep rocking!

Heaven: 7:42 Alright: 15:46 Love: 38:14 Simon: 25:27

This Jesus Must Die sounds awesome in this! Nice job my friend! :)

Top stuff, Derek! :)

Incredible!

still so impressed by this

Hi, Derek. My theater company is putting on a production of JCS at the beginning of December. We paid for the rights to produce it of course, but our budget is very small and I can't afford a full orchestra. So far I've assembled a guy on a keyboard, a drummer, and an electric guitarist. The director of course wants the show to sound as good as an orchestral production. I wanted to know if it would be possible to use your background tracks for my production, but if you could possible mute the guitar, keyboard and drum parts and send all the tracks to me in mp3 form. I would pay you some money for that of course. Let me know if you would be willing to help us out, and also how much you would want to be paid. I'm wondering though if something like that would be frowned upon by the copy write people if the music isn't exactly as Webber wrote it, like if you added your own flair and its not exactly the same, I'm not sure if I could get in trouble for that or if anyone would even notice. These tracks sound amazing by the way. Where can I contact you to discuss this more?

Great job!!

Great job dude!

This is a sick score!

wonderful job

We allow to use any of these for covers with permission? Absolutely amazing work.

Awesome!

Thats AMAZING.

Impressive stuff!

thank you for this

love it!

My mind is clearer now At last all too well I can see where we all soon will be If you strip away The myth from the man You will see where we all soon will be Jesus, You've started to believe The things they say of you You really do believe This talk of God is true And all the good you've done Will soon get swept away You’ve begun to matter more Than the things you say Listen, Jesus I don't like what I see All I ask is that you listen to me And remember, I've been your right hand man all along You have set them all on fire They think they've found the new Messiah And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong I remember when this whole thing began No talk of God then, we called you a man And believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died But every word you say today, gets twisted ‘round some other way And they'll hurt you if they think You've lied Nazareth, your famous son Should have stayed a great unknown Like His father carving wood He'd have made good. Tables, chairs and oaken chests Would have suited Jesus best He'd have caused nobody harm, no one alarm! Listen Jesus, do You care for your race? Don't you see we must keep in our place? We are occupied, have you forgotten how put down we are? I am frightened by the crowd For we are getting much too loud And they'll crush us if we go too far, if they go too far Listen, Jesus to the warning I give Please remember that I want us to live But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour All your followers are blind, too much heaven on their minds It was beautiful but now it's sour, yes it's all gone sour Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give Please, remember that I want us to live Come on, come on, He won't listen to me It's all gone sour

Wow! What i found!

Why did you split this into two seperate acts? It's meant to be one solid act.

Wow, this is seriously impressive, must have taken you a long time to make all this! I adore this musical but it's sometimes hard to find really high quality recordings of it, especially instrumentals. I might use some of this for a fan video or a cover, but if I do I'll be sure to credit you properly :)

Nice. Would love to hear Act II.

Awesome job! But it's pity that there is no "Then we are decided" Anyway you damn good:)

This is F@$%&*( fantastic! Great job, it could well have been the actual soundtrack!

Awesome man! Can I use the "Heaven on their minds" part for a vocal cover and upload it to youtube without any copyright problems?

Can this be used for covers an animations?

🙌

What is the singing point for Damned for all Time? No matter what, I can't get it right.

OMG I LOVE IT!!!! ITS SOUNDS 10/10!!! Can i use this to made a vocal cover please?

Hi, Derek. Our theater company is putting on a production of JCS in January in Erie, PA. We paid for the rights to produce it of course, but could you provide a CD of Act 1 & 2 for our non reading guitarists so they can listen & learn their parts?

Hello, these versions are great. Is there any way to get the files in wav?

Wow

is there a download of this with the sound files?

Hrmmm.... pretty impressive.

Hy dereck! You've done an incredible job...sooo cool...you've done all by yourself...genius! I'd like to have the pleasure and the honour to sing on most of your tracks and put it on the web...not for selling but just to share with everybody my very tough challenge with myself...can i use your cool tracks man? Obviously specifying which are your backing tracks...

On "This Jesus Must Die" where's the cue of singing cuz I'm kinda confuse where does the singing starts.

Hi there. I know this is a long shot. But I’ve been listening to these tracks of yours for years. I may have an opportunity next summer to direct this show. Is there any ways we could discuss use of these tracks? I know they are not for sale. But it doesn’t hurt me to at least ask or chat about using them.

By the way what orchestral midi you use? It sounds great!

Awesome job, man! Incredible stuff!!!! Is it possible to use the "heaven on their minds" part of this track to do a vocal cover? I'd really like to sing over this amazing backing track!!! Let me know!!!

I can sing the crap out of this entire score ,My first embarrassing "broadway" (off) experience was blowing Jesus off the stage every show LITERALLY stopping the show every single performance .They gave me the Simon Zealot role.The people sat on their hands the whole amazing opening show until my scene . I hope these are WAV files ..cause I will absolutely sing and record the voices ..GREAT JOB DEREK.

What’s up with the temple scene at 32:43, was that an artistic choice there bc isn’t there supposed to be something backing Jesus up there with notes, I’m just kinda confused why that’s not there. Love the tracks tho!! Been listening on repeat!!

Good Day Sir. I was wondering if I could have your permission to use the Backing Track for a Voice Exam at my school. I will be singing Heaven On Their Minds and it's impossible to work with live musicians during this pandemic. Thank you Sir!!!

How were you able to do this?

Why were parts of the songs cut, though? Everything on this video is pretty much fine, but on act two you skip a verse of The Arrest and what's worse, you skip a third of the chorus's for Superstar, of all songs! Don't get me wrong, the rest of it is A M A Z I N G and it sounds so goddamn good, but I'm sorry to say those little things make it harder for me to appreciate the piece as a whole. I am curious as to why you cut them. Don't get me wrong, I only want to know

Nimrod's pentapha is dead center in the video!
