the music


The music in the movie is amazing, particularly the song in the very first shot, which is played a couple more times throughout... does anyone know if this music can be purchased or downloaded anywhere?

Tarkovsky is the king.

i wish i knew... i noticed in My Best Fiend, that the same music is used in the finale of Aguirre, but its somewhat modified....

I was recently searching for this music too, and came across an extensive fansite of Popol Vuh, and a page in particular on their movie soundtracks. The fan said that the score for WOODCARVER STEINER was definitely not available to buy.

that's a shame. the music rules

Agreed, the music blew me away.

While I don't think the particular tracks are available, if you are looking for era-specific Popol Vuh, then you want their album "Seligpreisung" which I believe sounds very much like what you heard in the film. Its got a release date of 1974 as well.
