Music in Sky Movies Advert

    Not sure if this is the correct forum for this ...

    There is a relatively new advert for Sky Movies (I think it's to advertise their November schedule) I'm wondering however, if anyone know the name of the music on the ad. It's a choral piece with a mixed choir. I know I've heard it before on Top Gear during a feature they had and possibly in a movie, but I can't for the life of me remember it.

    It's driving me nuts trying to find it. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be much obliged.

    I haven't seen the ad. Is the song in Welsh at all?

    To be honest, I couldn't tell you for sure.

    It's reminiscent of the Soviet Army choir in the Hunt for Red October, but it's definitely not that.

    Hi Guys,

    Saw your chat whilst looking for the music myself............and now I've found it. Plunkett and Macleane Original Soundtrack by Craig Armstrong (1999), do yourself a favour and listen to 2 songs together, firstly Hanging then Escape (which is the one on the ad). Even better, watch the video if you can lay your hands on it, the music couldn't be any better for these scenes!!!!

    I know, I'm a music pervert, but this just makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck.

    Personally I love this clip, again putting the drama of the music to great use (I am biased being lifeboat crew!). Check it out:

    I've never seen that ad before, it's brilliant actually.

    It really does cause the hairs on the back of your neck to stand up. That's why I was so determined to find it!
