The film’s grippingly powerful musical accompaniment includes original works by acclaimed classical composer John Tavener along with pieces by Mahler, Handel and Penderecki. In addition to Tavener’s original works, this album also contains his compositions: Eternity’s Sunrise, Song of An Angel, The Lamb, Mother And Child and others. Tenebrae’s recording of Tavener’s ‘Mother And Child’ (from their 2003 disc of the same name) was chosen as a track for the movie soundtrack album.
