MUSIC BY GRANT FONDA

In 1928, an Irish immigrant dreams of becoming a millionaire, but ends up championing a family message.

Recorded in Los Angeles, Grant Fonda’s score for PRAY: THE STORY OF PATRICK PEYTON weaves together traditional Irish elements with string orchestra and unusual keyboards to create a tuneful and colorful tapestry.

“From the start of this project, I was drawn to PRAY because of the character of Father Patrick Peyton - who he was, what he accomplished, and the millions of lives he influenced. Every stage of planning this film was in service of bringing that character to life: our cinematography, our interviews, and our use of archival footage. Perhaps the largest contributor in bringing this character to the screen was the unbelievable score that Grant composed.”

“One of the common responses from viewers who have seen PRAY relates to the score. Grant has a zeal and passion for his work that causes music to leap off the page and into picture. he does not write a stand-alone piece; he writes a score that brings the story to life in a completely new way.”
