Classical pieces I remember...
Handel: "War, He Sung, Is Toil And Trouble" from Alexander's Feast
Mahler: Nun Will Die Sonn' So Hell Aufgeh'n from Kindertotenlieder
Penderecki: Threnody For The Victims Of Hiroshima
John Tavener: The Lamb (Arranged for string orchestra)Plus the new piece "Fragments of a Prayer" composed and conducted by Taverner specifically for the film. I thnik there is more of taverners previous work in there too but I can't remember them all.
Agreed, the use of music is anything but obvious, but it is apt.
There are two soundtrack CDs for Children Men, a pop one and a classical one.
