Name of the song in the closing credits

Dear all,

I have seen the film twice and was absolutely mesmerised by it, but there was one thing I didn't get to find out after either of the screenings - namely the name of the violin song that plays during the closing credits. It was actually one of the pivotal moments in the film for me, the first time I could stop and reflect on the film itself, and I would really like to know the name of it, but I cannot seem to find it anywhere. Would anyone perhaps be able to help me out? :)

Thank you!

T.

Here's what the director said about it:

[on scoring Son of Saul (2015) with composer László Melis] I didn't want a 'score,' it wouldn't have been right. We wanted something where you cannot trace the music, you cannot put your finger on it. It's very hidden; that was one of his achievements. The second achievement was to find the final song at the end. He helped us get access to lost music from Transylvania, very folkloric and Hasidic. This civilization has vanished, so this is a song from a lost world. That was an important contribution. [2015]

So I don't think it'll be readily available...

You're waiting for a train...

Thank you. I've actually read this interview, but have assumed that there is a name assigned to the track...but maybe not :).

In any case, it is a haunting piece of music, truly amazing :)
