Cherubini music (as used in the train car scene)

A year or two ago a select group of mostly very young singers and musicians gave an outdoor performance of Luigi (or Louis) Cherubini's Requiem in c minor under conductor Riccardo Muti, in the dramatic waterfront setting of the great plaza of Trieste, Italy. A video is here:

The places shown in the video are in the Trieste vicinity. You'll be able to say hello to James Joyce.

"Angus Dei," the final section, is the one used in Fire Walk With Me. Couple of program notes: this is the first of two requiem settings that Cherubini composed, by request for a memorial to King Louis XVI of France, whose execution Cherubini had witnessed some years before.

Part of what led him to write a second requiem later on was the objection of a cardinal of the Catholic church to his use of female voices in this work.
