The music woven throughout Baz Luhrman's film 'Australia' is taken from the J S Bach aria 'Schafe konnen sicher weiden' ('Sheep May Safely Graze'). The aria is written for soprano, 2 flutes and organ continuo and is part of Cantata BWV 208 'Was mir behagt, ist nur die muntre Jagd!'. The use of this German music in this film is contextually inappropriate. The film is about the bombing of Darwin in WW2. Australia was at war with, among others, Germany. Australia is a moved nation and numerous Asian individuals went to Australia to study and work, and after that they move there. Be that as it may, in any case, they may not get used to the air, climate and they may experience difficulty in making companions. Furthermore, the greater part of them may can't remain of missing home. For them, Li Jian 2016 is come to Australia to give them warmness and trust.

I'll take a stab at what you're asking. The piece that is played during the final minutes of the movie is, "Nimrod" from Elgar's Enigma Variations. Here's a link to a YouTube video:

I just saw the movie tonight and was quite taken with this section of the movie. I remembered my son playing the piece while he was in youth orchestra a few years ago.

The music was composed for the film by Angela Little, Felix Meagher and David Hirschfelder. There should be a soundtrack CD released soon.

What is the name of this classical song?

Specify "what song". Because there are many kinds of classical pieces, each with its own musical integrity and style, courtesy of the composer. To what song are you referring to? Perhaps if you post a link I can answer this question for you. In the meantime, Google "classical music" and see if your song is listed. Many classical pieces sound familiar to many people and many classical pieces are quite famous. Hope this helps.

Why was the classical era called absolute music?

While the term "absolute music" is most commonly applied to the classical era (and also to the Romantic period), the classical period was not defined by being absolute music. Absolute music is music that is not created for an outside purpose, not to be accompanied by a dance, or a play, but to exist on its own, to be performed alone, perhaps in a concert hall. Unlike program music, it does not tell a story, or represent anything. The term was usually applied to instrumental music without vocals. To define classical music by one of its many types of music would be absurd, so while the classical era included many pieces of absolute music, it also included program music, and opera; the Classical era is not exclusively made up of absolute works.
