Thanks for this list, but the Smetana composition you have linked there is the wrong one.

No, but 37 classical pieces or compositions is a shitty headline and this is fine for the folks at large.

Does anyone know where to find Arsenije Jovanovic\’s music? I can\’t find any of the pieces from the film in disc or digital form….

Thanks for any help!

Regarding this whole song/music argument, I don\’t know what\’s worse: nitpickers, or a blogger who is too arrogant to admit he made a mistake.

You might also want to include \”Funeral March\” by Patrick Cassidy, which is featured as background to one of the trailers but maybe not present in the film (I can\’t remember, but I guess it wasn\’t because it\’s not on this list). It\’s sooooo gorgeous and I urge anyone to go listen to it in full.

There was a guitar piece in the middle of the movie which I cannot locate on this list. Does anyone know who the composer/performer was?

Seemed clear that the family was Episcopalian, as is Malick. He was from small town Oklahoma/Texas and went to an Episcopal boarding school in Austin, Texas. Same story with me; St.Stephen\’s had an indelible effect, and the effect resonates in the film. But film is a conversation with a viewer, so this is just the perspective of one viewer.

THESE AREN\’T SONGS! SHUT THE INTERNET DOWN! SHUT IT DOWN< GODDAMIT!

Thank you so very much!

This is a gift for which I shall always be grateful to you -not having the opportunity to see the film, I think it\’s to come to north central Wisconsin- but not as yet.

Last evening I was listening to Jean Feraca\’s Here On Earth: Radio Without Borders program on Wisconsin Public Radio. Ms. Feraca interviewed David Sterritt, film scholar and critic, Chairman of the National Society of Film Critics, and former film professor at Columbia University and Barbara Newman, Professor of English, Religion, and Classics at Northwestern University , on the Terrence Malick Tree of Life film. There were references to the music in the film\’s score. And I listened to some of this extraordinary music! The Lacrimosa of Zbigniew Preisner is soul touching.

The film -no doubt, as it is contrasted to \’2001\” for its powerful connections- will become a studied classic. The music -as well.

Thank you.

The Brahms piece used in the dinner scene is not the 2nd movement of Symphony No.4, but the 4th movement, from 4:50–6:43.

@kat – Jovanovic\’s soundscapes have not been released on CD. From what I understand, they were made for broadcast on the radio. \”Sound Testament of Mount Athos\” can be found on Spotify.

@Leon Kelly – The list posted above is in order that the pieces are used in the film, so the opening piece is Funeral Canticle (the section from 2:20–7:29).

@ ll – That is “Pièces de clavecin, Book II 6e Ordre N°5:
Les Barricades Mistérieuses\”, but played by Hanan Townshend.

Ed, get a life.

P.S.

A song is in the ear of the beholder…. and why do they call it \”birdsong\” anyway?

Pedantic asses should be shut down, not the god given internet.

Thank you for this list! I waited patiently for the music credits, then they zoomed by in tiny print.
A couple of Malick\’s choices were kind of banal, but most were wonderful – the Couperin on piano were especially haunting.
Really appreciate your sharing this!

Tree of life, a wonderful picture!

Hellow; do you know what is the music from the scene there are children playing in a park?

It\’s from Couperin? I think so but I\’m not sure.

Thanks,

Montse

Saw the film which spurred much discussion as well as trying to identify the composers from which the music was drawn. Thanks for the help.
