The Missa Luba was certainly the main musical element in the film. I cannot recall whether that was what was in the background as the boys left the chapel or not, however.

Click here to hear the Sanctus from the Missa Luba. I'm sure you'll recognise it!

The version used in the film soundtrack was the recording by Les Troubadours du Roi Baudoin - I think it's available on a Philips CD

Thanks for the input people but... its the piece that is played on the organ as they leave the chapel. DA DA DA, DA DADADA, DA DADADA, DA DADADA, DAAA DAAA. Its very uplifting and I think the composer starts with a C. I remember it at college. It was always played after we left the chapel on a sunday ( any worksop college people out there? )

I'm not doubting anyones answers, but wikipedia claims...

"A single piece of music recurs in the film, the "Sanctus" from the Missa Luba. This version of the Latin Mass in African style, sung by a choir of Congolese children, had been on the UK Singles Chart in the 1960s."

The Sanctus does recur and is the piece most people take away from the film, but there is other music as well.
