At monument to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Moscow (near the Kremlin), there is a piece of music that is played continuously. Does anyone know the name and composer of that piece?

My partner, who has spent time there, thinks it's the adagio from Spartacus, by Khachaturian. But it could also be from his Symphony for an Unknown Soldier. (I know - it seems obvious that it should be the latter, but he really thinks it's the former.)
