I may never find the answer to this now that the movie is almost out but - please if there is anyone out there who knows the source of the music for the Spiderman 2 previews, I’d really like to know it. Thanks.

Well, AFAIK, there are at least two different songs used in previews. The only one I know is “Vindicated” by Dashboard Confessionals.

[Here’s](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0316654/trailers) a page with all (or, at least, a lot) of the Spiderman 2 trailers. Which one has the song you’re asking about?

Well, I saw 2 different previews in the theatres; can’t download the stuff on IMDB right now. I’m interested in the source (if there is one) for the overblown choral music. Thanks guys

I believe you’re talking about the music at the end of the third trailer. Unfortunetly, I don’t recognize it. Anyone else?

I don’t know for sure, but I think it might be from \*_Carmina Burana_. It is beautiful music.

I’ve never seen the Spiderman 2 trailer, but if it’s powerful choral music and it isn’t O Fortuna, it may be “Escape” by Craig Armstrong, from the Plunkett & Macleane soundtrack.

It’s not that. Thank God. Lovely music, but if I hear it in one more movie trailer…

I think you’ll find it’s special trailer music called Lacrimosa, made by Immediate Music.
