Music used during Secret Millionaire on Channel 4

[simonbk]

Last night during Channel 4's Secret Millionaire a piece of music that I've been trying to get information on for ages was used. The music was used during the reflective part of the show i.e. when the millionaire makes the decision as to who the money will be given to.

The piece is predominantly made up of piano and strings. The piano plays a repetitive motif in the style of Steve Reich and then gradually soaring strings are introduced. The piece has been used on a number of shows particularly on BBC.

Any further info on this would be much appreciated.

I dont know what it was but if you get no answers, try emailing channel 4. I have done this a couple of times and they're quite good at getting back to you.

good luck

Thansk for that.

Do you have a specific email address for Channel 4 by any chance please?

hopippolla by sigur ros

[simonbk]

Thanks for that but unfortunately it isn't 'hopippolla' by Sigur Ros despite the fact that BBC have rinsed this track for almost two years now. Its something else in a similar enough vein. Thanks.

I think it's 'Burnin Benches' by Morning Runner. You can listen to the song on their MySpace page.....

[simonbk]

Thanks again for the replies and suggestions but unfortunately it is neither Morning Runner or Rob D. I guess I'll just have to keep looking. Thanks for the help though. If it makes a difference they use the track in question quite a bit on BBC Grandstand. It is very dramatic and emotive.
