In the 1989 film "My 20th Century" some very beautiful and enchanting music was used towards the beginning and the end. It is a section from an early Guiseppe Verdi opera that employs chorus and orchestra. I have searched extensively on the net and even asked an opera expert, but have not been able to identify what opera this music came from. I haven't seen the movie, but the best-known early Verdi chorus is the Hebrew slaves' chorus from "Nabucco."
So that's what I'm betting on. Check here:
