Cello music played by Lacon's musical daughters


Does anyone recognize the cello music, which Lacon says is being played by his musical daughters? Is it by the same composer as the rest of the film's music, or is it a known classical piece? Thanks!

I think you must be confusing this film with Tinker Tailor. It's in the latter film where you hear the daughter playing the cello

Yes, you are quite right. I realized this a couple of days after I posted my original message. So I e-mailed the composer, Geoffrey Burgon, asking if he had written the music or if I had failed to reconize a classical piece, and he said that it was his, and that it has not been published elsewhere.
