HOLY CARP!!!
I know this piece...I think it's called River or The River or something like that. But I can't remember who it is. Can't remember where I heard it. I may be losing my mind.....

*Edit: I removed the link since the file was sitting on my server and Nina figured out where it came from

Arrrgh, it's familiar to me, too.

I want to say it's from a movie (not "from" but featured)... a South American one, like that weird missionary movie where the guy goes down a waterfall, truly dark drama...?

Yes, we have a winner!!

It's "Vita Nostra" from that movie... written by Ennio Morricone.

You can hear a snippet here, scroll down: Soundtrack from "The Mission"

Actually, it's two different selections. The first part is the Te Deum Guarani followed by River (which sounds a lot like Vita Nostra)

The score is actually pretty cool...my daughter just did a modern piece in dance workshop to this and didn't see the CD cover but knew the track was called River (for the main part of the dance...they used that short Te Deum as an introduction). I taped her workshop perf yesterday and knew the music but couldn't figure out where I'd heard it. She wants the CD.

You saved my life

:P

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
The soundtrack to the Mission is one of my favorites.
The dogma lives loudly within me.

The soundtrack to the Mission is one of my favorites.

Also one of the most famous. Yo-Yo Ma does a cover of that soundtrack if you're ever interested. Sorry I was late to this thread...I'm a HUGE movie-theme buff.
