    If you mean the quiet piece played over the memorial wall, it was An Ending - Ascent by Brian Eno.

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    — Kingsley Amis

    the first 15 mins or so were a bit bizarre, but the music was excellent the whole way through.
