Question
Hello
I am Charbel from Lebanon
I would like to ask about the music being played in the background of this movie.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfcvxxMVEhU

Thanks, I would really appreciate it!

Answer
Privet, salaam aleikum, Charbel,

First, the piece isn't a classical piece. I am not familiar with it. However, I suggest you search for it under the compositions of Karl Jenkins. You can find his recordings at amazon.com, and there are usually soundtracks you can listen to. It might take awhile because you might have to listen to many tracks, but I think the piece most closely resembles his style.

The other thing you can do is ask the person who put up the YouTube. Click on his name and send him a message.

Good luck! Let me know if you find it.

Expertise

I am no longer answering questions asking me to identify music. Most music is either on YouTube, which crashes my browser, or on another site that crashes my browser. I am available for other questions.

Experience

I have been playing piano since I was 3, and I am now 66 years old. I took formal lessons for about 11 years, and took some piano and organ performance courses in college. I also sang in the Masterworks Chorale for a number of years, and can sing anything from baritone to first soprano. We performed twice a year, usually a major choral work, ranging from requiem masses to Carmina Burana. I also attended recorder society meetings once a month. We would read compositions and perform them together. I took several children to their music lessons and rehearsals and usually stayed and watched intensely. Our children studied violin, viola, flute, guitar, clarinet, French horn, trumpet, and trombone.

Education/Credentials
I studied piano and organ in college, and took courses in music theory. I have also taken seminars in pre-Columbian folk music with Xochimoki, as well as played a short while in a gamelan, and a balalaika orchestra, where I played autoharp.
