[[File:Barabba Eclisse 1961.jpg|thumb|The scene where the real [[solar eclipse of February 15, 1961]] was used to recreate the [[crucifixion darkness]]]]
The [[Film score|music score]] by [[Mario Nascimbene]], which was conducted by [[Franco Ferrara]], the noted conductor and lecturer on conducting at several famous international academies, was noted for its unusual, stark experimental component – the composer referred to his work, which included the introduction of electronic sounds achieved by the manipulation of tape speeds, as "new sounds". The depiction of the [[crucifixion]] was filmed on 15 February 1961 during an actual [[Solar eclipse of February 15, 1961|total eclipse of the sun]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Elley |first1=Derek |title=The Epic Film: Myth and History |year=2013 |publisher=Routledge |location=Abingdon |isbn=9781317928874 |page=94 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=g1RJAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA94}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Hughes|first=Howard|title=Cinema Italiano - The Complete Guide From Classics To Cult|publisher=I.B.
