Agreed. Magnificent cinema. Part of the effectiveness of the piece is the way it's used as a reaction to the choir of Tavener's 'Funeral Canticle'. First a choir (tavener), then a vocalist with tubular bells and strings, then the choir returns at the height of it (presiner).

The cues that are in there completely: 'Emergence of Life', 'Clouds'. There are quotes from 'Circles' (about 30 seconds), 'Childhood' (about 60-90 seconds), 'Good and Evil' (about 30-40 seconds). So about 10 minutes in all.

Beautiful! brm

Oh dear. First, I simply hated that movie and couldn't wait for it to end. As for Zbigniew Preisner's "Lacrimosa 2," I kept thinking during that scene of all the other pieces Mallick could have chosen -- maybe Richard Strauss' "Beim Schlafengehen (Going To Sleep)" from his "4 Last Songs," or the haunting "Lento E Largo, Tranquillissimo" from Gorecki's Symphony #3 "Symphony Of Sorrowful Songs" -- he could have had the same ethereal beauty but the music would have been more accessible to mainstream cinema audiences. And I can think of a number of wordless vocalises that would have been even better. But what do I know? I hated the movie.
