“Train Station Farewell” from Michael Collins by Elliot Goldenthal

Elliot Goldenthal is not known for writing tender melodies. His specialty is in neo-classical, complex works with vast orchestras and stunning power. But for portions of his lush score for Michael Collins, he exercised his not-insignificant capacity for lyrical thematic composition and wrote a beautiful melody called “Kitty’s Waltz,” used to gorgeous effect in the track “Train Station Farewell.” A delicate piano is joined by deep layers of strings to culminate in most graceful, mellow piece.
