I was watching "Il vangelo secondo Matteo" (The Gospel According to St. Matthew) in Film Studies today and the music from Little Jimmy's funeral came on! I couldn't believe it! Here is a link to the soundtrack listing for that film http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058715/soundtrack But because I am at school I cannot youtube the songs to see which one it is but I'm sure you can do that anyway :D.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
