Author	Topic: What was that choral piece from!?

Kross Oscar® Winner	..in Legend of Bagger Vance, as Damon hits the hole in one, and the camera IS the ball, a choral piece plays that is very familiar, yet not on the sounstrack. Does anyone know what it is? Or what else it has been on? It is eating me alive! Thanks BTW, I really liked Bagger Vance. The Score was very good for the film but sounded like any other Portman score out there, it still worked for the film though, and I dug it. Since the film was not about golf, I dug it as well.

Justin Oscar® Winner	I agree Kross...the music during the hole-in-one scene was incredible and was greatly missed on the CD release. Anybody have a clue as to why this didn't make it on the score?

Kross Oscar® Winner	I doubt it was Portman's, could be though. I have heard it before and I am curious to know what it is or where it has been used like so many choral pieces are. In the credits it said Requiem Op. 48, but I could not find it anywhere else....

Hornerfan Oscar® Winner	The piece in question is from Faure's REQUIEM. It's the last movement, "In Paradisum." Wonderful music, even if I'm biased from the fact that I've performed the whole thing. A good copy to pick up is the one conducted by Rutter, from his own arrangement of the orchestral score. Mike

Kross Oscar® Winner	What other films has it been used in, or trailers? That is what is killing me.

Hornerfan Oscar® Winner	Two movies come to mind with use of that piece. The first is COPYCAT (I can't remember which part of the movie, though). The second is THE THIN RED LINE, within the first couple of minutes (the exposition with the two soldiers gone AWOL). Mike

JJH Oscar® Winner	Reddi, any music store should have the Faure Requiem. there are many many recordings of this popular, and gorgeous work. most often it couples with Durufle's equally moving Requiem.

Swashbuckler Oscar® Winner	For the sake of exhaustiveness (is that a word?), I'll throw in that Faure's Requiem is also used in Paperhouse, which was scored by Hans Zimmer when he was still apprenticed to Stanley Myers (i.e. before all his music started to sound exactly the same). It appears on the album as well, conducted by Myers, but I think that it's a different recording that what appeared in the film.
