Ralph and Frances go on to be conscientious objectors in The Second World War. Cast Music The score of the film was composed by Michael Nyman. It was primarily based upon his String Quartet No.3, with which Hampton created a temp track, and wanted as a leitmotif for Lytton Strachey. The score is also based on Schubert's String Quintet in C, D. 956, whose Adagio is played during a scene in the film. However, there is also newly composed material for the film, including "Virgin on the roof," which was incorporated into the String Quartet No. 4, and the theme for Mark Gertler, which is derived from 3 Quartets, which was composed at roughly the same time. "Outside Looking In" - 9:14 "Opening Titles" - 1:21 "Fly Drive" - 1:40 "Cliffs of Fall" - 2:00 "Every Curl of your Beard" - 2:24 "Virgin on the Roof" - 1:40 "Gertler" - 3:15 "Leaving Gertler" - 1:27 "Painting the Garden of Eden" - 1:59 "Partridge" - 1:54 "Floating the Honeymoon" - 2:45 "Brenan" - 6:53 "Beacus" - 2:58 "Leaving Brenan" - 1:59 "Ham Spray House" - 1:39 "The Infinite Complexities of Christmas" - 4:18 "Something Rather Impulsive" - 1:48 "If This is Dying" - 1:46 Franz Schubert: String Quintet in C: Adagio – Amadeus Quartet/Robert Cohen (1987 recording-Polydor/Deutsche Grammophon) - 15:11 Reception Critical reception Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes retroactively gave the film an approval rating of 54% based on 26 reviews, and an average rating of 6.2/10.
