| - | The film's period setting allowed Kubrick to indulge his penchant for classical music, and the film score uses pieces by [[Johann Sebastian Bach|Bach]], [[Antonio Vivaldi|Vivaldi]], [[Giovanni Paisiello|Paisiello]], [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]], and [[Franz Schubert|Schubert]]. The piece most associated with the film, however, is the main title music, [[George Frideric Handel|Handel's]] [[Keyboard suite in D minor (HWV 437)|Sarabande from the Keyboard suite in D minor (HWV 437)]]. Originally for solo [[harpsichord]], the versions for the main and end titles are performed with orchestral strings, harpsichord, and [[timpani]]. The score also includes [[Folk music of Ireland|Irish folk music]], including [[Seán Ó Riada]]'s song "Women of Ireland", arranged by [[Paddy Moloney]] and performed by [[The Chieftains]]. "[[The British Grenadiers]]" also features in scenes with Redcoats marching. | + | |
