An interesting thread this about music for specific (and only) usage. In the flamenco tradition there are also some elegiac songs most flamenco singers refuse to sing unless they are going to be sung at funerals. What do you think of Mike Oldfield's version in Voyager? And what's the tune that can be heard at the end of No Man's Land in the Green Linnet Collection? It's a girl singing, very nice voice and strong accent. The context would suggest it's FOTF what it's being played but it is not...Have you heard it?
