What's that song that's in the Big Lebowski?

I need to know the name of a song, and who the composer is. In the Big Lebowski, during the part where the Dude's landlord, Allan, is doing that performance art/ interpretive dance routine, what song is playing in the background?
I'm doing a short student film, and need that song, or something equally as "end-of-the-world" sounding. If people don't know the name of the song, do they have any suggestions for a song I can use that is similarly grave?
I've already checked the official soundtrack. It doesn't appear to be on there, and I can't seem to find the original score anywhere online.

It's not Die Tote Stadt: Act I, Glück, Das Mir Verblieb (Marietta's Lied) (Track 10)?

I don't have the movie with me to verify, but I believe it's from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. It is listed in the credits, both after the movie itself and on the Internet Movie Database listing.

Which, of couse, begs the question of why you needed to ask.

On further research I think I can be more specific (and again, I could be misremembering the exact piece that played during that scene) -- try the second movement from Pictures at an Exhibition. You can hear a sample here (track 2). It's not on the official soundtrack, but I'm pretty sure that's the one.

Response by poster: I think it is from Pictures at an Exhibition, actually, I just need to know which song from it.

That second movement, by the way, is called "Gnomus."

Neither here nor there, but the Dude's landlord's name is Marty.
