[MusicFilter] Help me identify a piece from ' The Mirror Has Two Faces'

October 27, 2005 7:02 AM

Hi, I'm trying to identify a piece of classical music from the movie ' The Mirror Has Two Faces' http://imdb.com/title/tt0117057/ During the first half of the movie, Jeff Bridges and Barbara Streisand attend a musical concert. Can someone help me identify the musical piece (and its composer) that is played during the performance? Thanks!!

Response by poster: Addendum: It's the scene where he plays around with a spectrograph.. and the music goes something like ' tu nnn..tu nnn.. tu nnn...'

I hope this information is of help. I would really like to listen to this powerful piece in its entirety.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but was it opera? If so, it was probably In questa reggia, the opening aria from Puccini's Turandot. I got that from the Amazon page for the official soundtrack.

Best answer: Is it Carol of the Bells? Lyrics & Music: Adapted by Peter J. Wilhousky, 1936, from original by Mykola Dmytrovich Leontovych, 1916.
