Wedding March Written by Richard Wagner Lyrics:

Van Morrison’s song Have I Told You Lately plays over the end scene and tail credits. Lyrics as heard in the film:

Have I told you lately that I love ya Have I told you there's no one above you Fill my heart with gladness Take away my sadness ’n Ease my troubles, that's what you do Oh, the morning sun in all its glory Greets the day with hope and comfort too And you fill my life with laughter You can make it better Ease my troubles that's what you do There's a love that's divine And it's yours, it's mine Like the sun At the end of the day We should give thanks and pray to the One Hey, have I told you lately that I love you Have I told you there's no one above you Fill my heart with gladness Take away my sadness Ease my troubles, that's what you do

(Piano driven musical interlude)

There's a love that's divine And it's yours and it's mine And it shines like the sun At the end of the day we will give thanks and pray to the One... Have I told you lately that I love you Have I told you there's no one above you Fill my heart with gladness Take away my sadness Ease my troubles, that's what you do Take away my sadness Fill my life with gladness ’n Ease my troubles, that's what you do Fill my life with gladness, yeah Take away my sadness Ease my troubles, that's what you do …

(The song finishes during the film’s music credits with about 35 seconds to go for the roller. The remaining credits roll up in silence).

Composer Brett Rosenberg:

At time of writing, composer Brett Rosenberg had an eponymous website here which contained this short biography and filmography:

Brett was born into a musical family. His father Ron is somewhat of a local legend as a piano player and arranger, having played for the likes of Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Nat ‘King’ Cole. Brett’s first jobs were as a keyboard player around town, however he always had a strong interest in composing for film. Early on he took private lessons in composition from Brian May (Mad Max), who encouraged him to go and further his studies in Los Angeles. He went to LA in 1990 and took classes in Film Scoring at UCLA.

His first scoring assignment was in 1996, and since then he has worked in all areas of composition for the moving image, from fun filled, multi-award winning music for children’s television, to documentary, short film, advertising, and feature film. His scores have ranged from retro 60’s flavored R’n’B, to large orchestral, to gypsy jazz, to ambient. All scores are written with the drama and story of the film uppermost in mind.

His most acclaimed score is for the romantic thriller Half Light, starring Demi Moore and Hans Mathieson, which was named by many score critics in their Top 10 scores of 2006.
