Alex Ross has done a splendid classical music preview of a new movie directed by Terrence Malick, that features Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain.
The film is full of great classical music and much of it is choral or choral related, including:
- Berlioz: 10. Agnus Dei [Requiem, Op. 5 (Grande Messe des Morts)]
- “Hymn to Dionysus” Composed by Gustav Holst
- Berlioz: 7. Domine Jesu Christe [Requiem Op. 5 (Grande Messe des Morts)]
- “Resurrection in Hades” Written by John Tavener and Mother Thekla
- “Ascending and Descending” Written by David Hykes
- “Lacrimosa 2” Composed by Zbigniew Preisner
- “Funeral Canticle” Written by John Tavener and Mother Thekla
I was already hooked by the movie preview that showcases “The Moldau” by Bedrich Smetana, a piece I discovered my freshmen year in music literature at Ole Miss. Check it out:
