    "It began in the 1840s, spurred on by financial panic in the East, by outbreaks of cholera and malaria and by the ceaseless American hankering to move west..........but of all the stories to come out of the West, none has cut more deeply into the imagination of the American people than the tale of the Donner Party, high in the Sierra Nevada in the winter of 1846."

      it's the main theme in Ric Burns' documentary "The Donner Party". I had to look it up after watching. It gives such an eerie feeling to the whole thing, which is about one of the worst human tragedies ever recorded.
      EDIT: looking at the comments, it seems most of them came here after watching the doc as well..

      OMG, Thank you!!! I remember watching that Donner Party documentary when I was in middle school and the way the film opens - the eerie silence of the ticking of the grandfather clock as the narrator reads the letter, then cue “Dark Spanish Symphony” juxtaposed with the sprawling landscape of the American Frontier - has haunted me ever since

    Just gorgeous to the ears.
    To those unfamiliar with the photo of the young couple in the convertible ... it's from David Lynch's 1990 film "Wild at Heart" which is a dreamy and nightmarish piece of work (not for the faint of heart), something of a lovers-on-the-lamb road trip gone wrong. Lynch was, at the time, establishing himself as an exciting and unique filmmaker.
    This particular piece of music is hauntingly lovely, and just for fun it should be compared to its companion piece from the movie soundtrack, the version that sounds like something from a 1950's diner jukebox:

    Man, I want to thank David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti for conjuring up all the marvelous musical magic over the decades. Their movie and TV tunes run the gamut from bliss to dread to melancholy. I'm much obliged.

    "Chernobyl" has changed that. As has its score.

      Try perhaps 2 years. The documentary came out in 1992. And I actually borrowed the DVD of Wild at Heart from the library to see how this music was used - but why I can like David Lynch at times (even a lot) I just found I couldn't watch this, so I skimmed through it to try to find the music and all I heard was Richard Strauss ( which is a profoundly beautiful piece of music as well). If it's used in the movie it's really camouflaged. The use in the documentary is way superior and perfect for the tragedy of the story. There's a reason that the documentary is referenced in these comments a lot more than the movie.

      Nothing to be confused about- it was powerfully used in Ric Burns 1992 PBS documentary on the Donner Party. I, for one, well up with emotion when I hear it based on experiencing it in that documentary.
