It's a tougher task than you might think. I should have consulted Claudia. But this music is a fairly recent find for me, and it's with what I began and concluded my search. <br /><br /><br />The theme itself is actually from a Norwegian piece (a hymn?) called "The Lost Sheep." I think the composer of the piece for the film had the same conundrum as I did and naturally went way north for inspiration. (Yeah, we pretty much had the same problems, he and I. Sniff.) What gives it away as "cold" for me is that high-pitched note at :38. That evokes ice (for me, at least), which is why I chose the death-icycle there.Mike Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062208496860731471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18179581.post-36517711667938849212011-01-29T18:43:45.520-08:002011-01-29T18:43:45.520-08:00What was the musical selection?
