Can you help me find a song?

Asked by Berserker (33548points) October 29th, 2010

So in this link right here, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K-TDdbrLTk) there’s this interview with Lucy Lawless and Renee O’Connor from the movie Bitch Slap.
Now there’s this really awesome music playing in the background, which is also played in the movie Excalibur (1981) during a wedding scene.

I mean does this song have a name? All I can find is like a one minute track from the movie, (Linked above.) but this is obviously something that someone composed. Any ideas? Who came up with this, what’s it called, where can I find a version?

Yeah I love Xena, katanas and Camelot as much as the next nerd, but this is pissing me off lol. Any help with this song?

@DrasticDreamer That’s a lot to listen through to find my piece…but thanks, not I have a lead, plus epic music for the night!

@FutureMemory It might narrow my search down a bit, but do it on your own good time. :)

I’ll just gawk at Renee in a nun suit in the meanwhile lol. :D

Trevor Jones did the soundtrack for Excalibur, according the movie DVD.

I believe it’s called The Wedding by Trevor Jones.
