I need the name of a piece of classical music, and I just know you guys can help me.
It’s opera, an aria or something similar, two female voices, probably both soprano.
WB likes to play it for ads and previews of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel - especially if it’s an Angelus situation.
It’s also in The Mirror Has Two Faces when Jeff Bridges character is listening to music all by himself. (The movie was on tape, the credits were illegible, and the soundtrack doesn’t have it.)
It’s very haunting music, and I’d love to get my hands on it. Any help you can give is very appreciated.
Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale?
Heheheh. I know it. I will give you a hint that comes from a completely bastardized version: Yanni. You will hardly think his version is worth it. Will I give you the name? hehehehe
Well now I feel bad for not answering it. It is probably Delibes “Lakme” opera. The track you are looking for is #2 on the EMI Classics disc which features highlights from the opera. It is called “Duettino: Viens Mallika…” - the whole disk is wonderful.
If that doesn’t work you can also find the selection in DELIBES
