Just downloaded the 2nd Spider Man trailer and the last part of it has great music… some kind of Coral. Anyone know which it is ? [http://www.cinema.art.br/cinemacena/multi\_trailers\_filme.asp?cod=1607](http://www.cinema.art.br/cinemacena/multi_trailers_filme.asp?cod=1607) ---

Pretty much the stock answer any time someone asks “what was that awesome choral piece I heard in movie X’s trailer?” is “Carl Orff’s _Carmina Burana_, especially the ‘O Fortuna’ section.” It is used _that_ often. In this case, while _Carmina_ was not used, the score (I’m guessing it’s original to the movie) is very, very clearly based on Orff’s piece. Look it up on Amazon, listen to the audio clips, and I’m sure you can pick up the strong similarities. I would, of course, encourage you to get the [original](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000001GQP), hear for yourself why this thing is so often used or copied, and be forever enlightened. ---

It’s not _Carmina_. I didn’t recognize it at all, and I’m vaguely familiar with many such pieces… ---

> [@Mockingbird](#): > > _choral_ Heh. I saw the trailer and was wondering what this post was, because I didn’t remember any music by [The Coral](http://www.thecoral.co.uk/) ---

I’m pretty sure it’s independent music made specially for the trailer, or generic music bought from a special trailer-soundtrack-making company (there are a few of them around these days). [This page](http://www.soundtrack.net/trailers/?cid=S&id=1373) says [“Immediate Music”](http://www.immediatemusic.com/), but I’m not sure if they’re talking about this particular trailer, or the previous one. ---

Actually, listening to the trailer, I can here the word “Lacrimosa” several times, so that listing at [Soundtrack.net](http://Soundtrack.net) is probably correct. ---

thanks for the tips… It sure isn’t Carmina Burana… haven’t seen that one used in trailers for quite a while. Its too well known by now. ---

Ack, guys, I didn’t say it was _Carmina_. I said it was a copy. ---

You say Carmina, And I say Burana. You say Carmina, And I say Burana. Carmina! Burana! Carmina! Burana! Let’s call the whole thing off. – **tracer** , shipwrecked upon a choral reef ---
