name that tune!!!

StephenInsane

This tune was used in a few ads. I think it's a classical piece or something. It sounds like it's being played with bells or something, sounds very unusual. It was used in the ad that RTE made recently for that movie where Sean Connery teaches some black kid to write a book. It was also used at the end of the very last episode of the Des Bishop work experience. can anyone tell me the name of the tune? Thanks!

Edited for spellings.

Didn't see the advert but if it's the tune I'm thinking of from your mentioning bells (it's a xylophone & it's also used in the Finding Forrester scene where Connery goes for a bike ride), it's a section of Carl Orff's Schulwerk (from part 1: Musica Poetica) called Vier Stucke Fur Xylophon, rearranged by Bill Brown for the movie. The advert and Des Bishop may have had a different version - it's not on the soundtrack CD (or even listed in the movie credits AFAIR) so RTE may have dug up an old recording.

Hans Zimmer also used it to derive You're so cool on the True Romance soundtrack because Tarantino told him to. Also used as the main theme for Terrence Malick's Badlands from the mid-70s. And to advertise the Irish Independent (edit: might have been a proper paper like the Irish Times) a few years ago.
