I may get disbarred from the Soundtrack Dweeb Society for asking this, but from which movie was the music underscoring the "In Memoriam" segment of last night's Oscar telecast? I know I've heard it before, but not often enough to recall the source. I usually score fairly high in "Name That Soundtrack" challenges but not this time. Thanks.
I don't know if Cindylover actually pointed you in the direction of the answer, but it was Sophie's Choice.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. The reason I couldn't make the connection is because I had the score on LP but never bought it on CD. Consequently it's probably been nearly 15 years since I last heard it. I had forgotten what a beautiful theme it is.
