I think those are pan flutes used in the early part of the theme listed below. It is the G troop theme composed by Elmer Bernstein for Rough Riders.

No love for Vladimir Cosma? What a shame!

Oh yes, and already noted above, on "The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe"!

Well yeah, I may remember a pan flute or two on Radio Flyer and Burning Secret...performed by Richard Harvey, film composer in his own right.

I guess, in order to get the "full dose" of the south american pan flute sound it`s better to hear some original folk music from that region.

This is a lovely cue:

Luis Bacalov uses pan pipes/flutes in many of his scores, my favorite being SEA OF DREAMS:




Now playing that. Lovely score!

Zimmer's Rain Man?

Yes, as well as The Lion King.

...and, almost surprised no one seems to have mentioned it yet, since the pan pipes are the main, leading instrument throughout the whole score; Beyond Rangoon.

It's also used (although it can be some other kind of similar flute) as a background rhythm of some sort, in for instance Crimson Tide, and Nick Glennie-Smith's Max Q (also in others of his scores as well)

The booklet says "ethnic pipes", it doesn't specify them as pan pipes. Could be, of course.

"Panic at Hanging Rock" (Bruce Smeaton)

From doing a quick search of runmovies.eu and soundtrack.net

EDIT:
runmovies.eu not longer exists (this was the official home of Soundtrack! magazine that was putting old articles and interviews online. :-(

Once Upon A time In America, that sounds like pan flutes, & the play-out of the first Kill Bill film, The Lonely Shepherd, Gheorghe Zamfir, as catchy as hell.

Yeah, ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA is really the ultimate example of pan flutes in film scores, and I'm surprised it took so many posts before it was mentioned.

Hey Phelpsie

I think this belongs in your CHRONICLES OF THORnia saga!

The pan flute is the only instrument needed to score the film adaptation of the Tom Clancy thriller, The Zam of All Firs.

Nono, thanks for posting this wonderful track by François de Roubaix. This said, I wonder if the flute featured in it is not a quena (or kena).

Other French tracks using the pan flute are for instance:

Vladimir COSMA - LES GRANDS DETECTIVES (TV, 75): générique
Jean MUSY - CLAIR DE FEMME : Thème principal
Jean-Claude PETIT - LE CAVIAR ROUGE: Thème (performed by Gheorghe ZAMFIR)

Enjoy!

Another one by Morricone - Cacciatori Di Navi.
a bit repetitive, but highly soothing & hypnotic.

I had a doubt before posting the video, so you're probably right. Since De Roubaix played all the instruments by himself, the record or CD covers unfortunately can't help to identify some instruments.

And I didn't know the quena flute, so thank you Laurent.

About RAIN MAN...I actually think it's a Fairlight synth playing a sampled flute.
