What is the slow deep music that plays during slave scenes in some movies?

Asked by XOIIO (18328points) April 8th, 2011

There is this slow, deep song that I have heard play in a couple movies when people are being forced to do work, almost like slaves, and I am having trouble finding it.

It’s been a long time since I’ve heard it, but my guess is either The Volga Boatmen or Old Man River.

@Brian1946 Both miss.

The song I am thinking of doesnt have any lyrics if that helps.

Is it the same music, or just similar? It may be scored just for the movie.

Something simmilar, but a lot deeper, kind of like

It was probably scored by one of the Newmans for a 1930’s movie, and recycled ever since.

If you can think of a film that features this music, perhaps you could check IMDB and see what it has to say about the music.

@Mz_Lizzy I can’t remember where I heard it.

@mrentropy YES! It’s some version of that song! THANKS!

Your welcome. I wouldn’t have figured it out if it weren’t for your humming up there.

They use that for slavery scenes? Wow, that explains why I constantly hear it being softly played over the intercom system at my office. :D

@Dr_Dredd No, it’s Chopin’s Funeral March.
