Classical Music in Arcadia

I have the soundtrack to Arcadia of My Youth (two different soundtrack cds in fact) and I really like the music. There are at least two classical music pieces that are used in the movie, and I am curious if anyone else has spotted anymore. What I have found is that Adagio in G minor by Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni is one of the songs and the other is from Peer Gynt-Suite by Grieg. It is Solveig's Air to be more precise. Anyway, if anyone else has spotted classical music being used in this movie let me know.

The 'Raise our flag/leaving Earth' sequence uses a segment of Dvorak's New world symphony

Actually, you must mean the sequence just prior to that. It was during the burial and Harlock's eulogy. The sequence you mention is when that 70s-80s era end credits song starts.

Also used in Shaolin Soccer...during the scene where Steel Leg told Mui he didn't love her. Just noticed that tonight...
