In this clip, we have the two pieces of music featured over the weekend, and a third, On Earth As It Is In Heaven, which brings in the choir.

This music is available on CD as The Mission: Original Soundtrack From The Motion Picture, and, of course, in the movie itself.

There are no shots of the movie at all here, strictly a performance clip. Carlo Romano plays the oboe, and Ennio Morricone conducts the Roma Sinfonietta at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.
