Does anyone know what the music in this ad is?

I've been searching around on the net but can't find any information about it. Someone in the comments said that it was from the Requiem For A Dream soundtrack, but I've listened to every track on that and can't find it. It sounds to me like it could be a John Murphy or Craig Armstrong piece, but I'm stumpted. I'm guessing it's a modern classical piece rather than anything, well, classical.

Any ideas?

Just spent ten minutes looking for this

Requiem for a dream - Clint Mansell

That's not the piece in the ad though?

Funny enough, I've actually had similar trouble finding the piece that you linked below - I don't think that version was on the soundtrack, it was recorded separately for a Lord of the Rings trailer. Took me a while to find it.

Sounds like it was made for the add. Although could be any number of film composers. Zimmer, Mansell & Gregson-Williams come to mind.

Yep, think you're right there. It doesn't sound like an excerpt from a piece; it's more that what you hear is the whole piece in that minute or so ad.

It's not "O Verona", is it?

Sanguine Fan

"Am I not merciful?", track 14 from the Gladiator soundtrack.

God that's an awful rip off of Gorecki's third symphony
