Thanks for posting the music list again this season.
Are the two songs played in the bar scene in "Love Among the Ruins" not going to be posted? They sound like great tunes, but i can't identify either of them.
Can you leave the music information for Season 3, episode 5, "The Fog"? I along with others are interested in the song played during the final credits. Thanks!
I believe the music played at the final credits of "The Fog" episode 5 of season 3 is Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet suite - but would like this confirmed. I'm dying to know and hope I indeed have the right composition!
Yes, please post the beautiful music which accompanied Betty throughout "The Fog."
The music in "The Fog" is from a recent Spanish romantic film, SEX AND LUCIA. The cut is "Me Voy A Morir De Tanto Amor," score composed by Alberto Iglesias.
If you haven't seen the film, do. And bring hankies. The most erotic tearjerker(!) ever.
Search "Me Voy a Morir de Amor" on Google and you can find it. Amazon and Barnes & Noble both have the soundtrack for Sex and Lucia. Plus, here's a website for a test-listen:

Love the show; great site. Re: S3 music. Does anyone know the name of the instrumental piece played during the Maypole dance scene and also again over the end credits of "Love Among The Ruins" (S3E2)? Also, will that be included in a (hopeful) forthcoming S3 cd? Thanks!
I am also posting to find out if the haunting, beautiful music played during Don's reverie at the the Maypole dance and at the closing credits will be made available. Please, please. Great stuff.
Does anyone know the music that played during the ending credits of Season 3, Episode 2? I think it was something from the Classical period. It was lovely.
No wonder!!! Sex and Lucia is one of my favorite movies. The spanish translation of "Me Voy a Morir de Amor"" is "I will die of love" which is very apt to Betty's predicament. Thank you so much.
The piece that played during the Maypole dance scene, and later in the credits of episode 2 (Love Amoung the Ruins), I believe, is part of The Carousel suite, which can be found on David Carbonara's Mad Men Original Score, Volume 1. It's a truly excellent composition :)
The version of "My Old Kentucky Home" at the end of the first episode was movingly beautiful. Does anyone know the arrangement or where I could find it?
Can someone tell me about the Music in Episode 10, The Color Blue? I'm curious to know the name of the piano piece that is playing when Don is in bed With Ms. Ferrel right as Betty picks up the book The Group while Betty is in the bathtub. It fades out as Ms. Ferrel talks about her student who asks about the color blue. Also, was this composed for Mad Men or is this a pre-existing piece? Thanks in advance!
Can anyone tell me the name of the song during the closing credits on last night's episode (Oct 25 2009)?
When "There's a Small Hotel" came on it took me back to Bucks County Pennsylvania and dinners at the Stockton Inn located in Stockton, NJ. This beautiful country inn was the inspiration for the song. The wishing well is still there. Many of the Broadway stars of the time use to come down to Bucks County after the Saturday night performance for a couple of days of R and R. I love this show and wish it's season was longer.
Does anyone know the song playing in the background when Ms. Ferrel (Susie) gets into bed with Don in Season 3, Episode 11?
Song at closing credits was "Where Is Love" from Oliver.
Thanks. C
just another request for the music playing when peggy goes to the bar in "love among the ruins"

I would like to know also. Does anyone here know?
Does anyone know the name of the song played during final credits for the end-of-season show Sunday November 8th?
The song is Shahdaroba by Roy Orbison.
phnan - thanks for letting us know the name and artist for the song Shahdaroba by Roy Orbison.
Thank you, pfnan! That was it.
How did you find out this information?
Hello everyone! I wonder if you can help me out - does anyone know the name of the song that was played during the end credits of episode 12, season 3?
Anyone know the name of the song that was playing over the promo for the Season 3 Finale? It sounded like Explosions in the Sky.
Thanks to YouTube, I found the name of the song used in the Season 3 finale trailer.
The song is called Aphelion and the band is Moving Mountains.
