I know it's used a lot — possibly overused — but I'm watching the “Modern Movie Soundtracks at the Proms” on iPlayer (https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002202j/bbc-proms-2024-modern-movie-soundtracks-at-the-proms) and as they started playing “On the Nature of Daylight” — and then again when each new line came in — I felt a full-body frisson

Such a gorgeous piece.

And istg it took me a good while to realise that On the Nature of Daylight is not the same piece as The Departure by Michael Nyman for the Gattaca soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMaWvielZho
