Question
Mr, Frimmer, I would love to know what music is playing in the background of the Jerome Murat Video that is circulating the web! My mother heard it and asked me to find it for her, but I dont have a clue. I would appreciate any help at all, thanks.  Kellye

Type Jerome Murat in browser to find several links.

Answer
First of all, it is not a "classical" piece.  The music is from the soundtrack of "The Mission."  I believe that it was a Robert DeNiro film.  I don't know the composer but I think he was the one that received the honorary Oscar at the Academy Awards this year.  I think that the piece is called "Gabriel's Oboe."  In any case, go to your nearest music store (Borders, Virgin, etc.) and look for "The Mission" soundtrack.  Wonderful music!!!
