Hello my fellow Morsonians. I have in this post compiled a list of the classical music played in all the Morse episodes. Which episodes used a particular piece of music has also been included.
Click on the music title to open a new window with a music video from Youtube of the selected music.
Posts with all the music from Lewis and Endeavour series will be coming soon. There will also be a fourth post which will include all the music that has turned up in more than one series or episode.
At the end of the post I have included a downloadable PDF and excel sheet which includes a list of all the information. This will allow you to put the list on your phone or tablet or print it out.
If you find any broken links please let me know.

00h24m30s.
Six Suites for Violin and Cello. Suite No. 3 by Johann Sebastian Bach.
01h17m32s.
Masonic Mysteries.
It is no surprise that all the classical music is excerpts from the Mozart opera The Magic Flute. (The Magic Flute (German: Die Zauberflöte), K. 620)
What I will attempt to do is identify the excerpts as to where they happen in the opera and which characters are singing. I have also tried to get all the musical excerpts used in the episode and make them into short videos for each piece.
I am a fan of the opera but do not put myself forward as an expert. So, on that note I apologize in advance for any errors.
00h00m00s.
The Magic Flute opening music.
00h15m40s.
After three ladies, attendants of the Queen of the Night, appear and kill the serpent that was tormenting Tomino, he having fainted, he awakes to find Papageno who takes credit for having killed the serpent.
00h21m21s. Morse and Lewis are leaving McNutt’s house and walking toward his, now defaced, car. A section of the opening is replayed here.
00h21m57s.
Morse and Lewis are driving back from McNutt’s house and are trying to make sense of that night’s events.
The music is played while the council of priests of Isis and Osiris, headed by Sarastro, enter.
He invokes the gods Isis and Osiris, asking them to protect Tamino and Pamina (Aria and chorus: “O Isis und Osiris“).
00h27m27s.
The scene starts with Morse staring at the defaced car and then moves into his house where he sits on the settee contemplating all that has happened.
The next piece is from Act 1, scene 1 and is part of the scene after Prince Tamino has just been presented by the Three Ladies with an image of the princess Pamina, and falls instantly in love with her. “Dies Bildnis ist bezaubernd schön” (This image is enchantingly lovely)
00h48m46s.
Morse is in a cell and Lewis and Bottomley arrive at his house to find angry neighbours beating at Morse’s door as their is music blasting from his house.
We are now at act 2, scene 3. The Queen of the Night appears handing Pamina a dagger, ordering her to kill Sarastro with it and threatening to disown her if she does not. “Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen” (“Hell’s vengeance boils in my heart”)
01h05m11s.
Morse is released from his cell and returns home. As he lies sleeping on the settee a fire starts.
Tamino declares that he is ready to be tested. Pamina enters and declares her intention to undergo the remaining trials with him. She hands him the magic flute to help them through the trials. Wir wandelten durch Feuergluten, (We wandered through the fire’s glow)
01h25m30s.
We are now in the house of Hugo DeVries and he and Morse talk of what has happened. Hugo turns on a cassette recording of The Magic Flute.
Papageno and Pamina are searching for Tamino when they are recaptured by Monostatos and his slaves. Papageno plays his magic bells, and Monostatos and his slaves begin to dance, and exit the stage, still dancing, mesmerised by the beauty of the music. Schnelle Füße, racher Mut (Swift feet and ready courage)
Our final piece is when Morse is sitting in his car outside where the opera is being played. Lewis and his wife went along at the behest of Morse. The scene sees Lewis and his wife coming out early (though they almost stayed to the end as the music that can be heard playing is almost at the end of the opera).
The traitorous Monostatos appears with the Queen of the Night and her three ladies. They plot to destroy the temple (“Nur stille, stille“) and the Queen confirms that she has promised her daughter Pamina to Monostatos.

Wow, Christopher! This is a gift. I love how music is woven organically through all of Morse. It serves as a function in character and plot development and not just to texture the environment. Thank you for this hard work; oh, the hours you must have spent!
Wow! This is beautiful! A gift, indeed! Thank you, Chris!
Wonderful, Chris. Many thanks for putting this together and sharing it with us.
Sir! You are doing God’s work here. Thank you!
Excellent work, Chris, thank you.
You’re welcome Richey, glad you liked it.
THANK YOU! DANKE! GREAT WORK!
Hi there – love your work here, very useful!! Just on the matter of The Infernal Serpent: I’m a choral singer, and as far as I know the Miserere is by William Byrd, not Allegri, and the piece in the chapel at the end is Byrd’s Justorum Animae. Hope this is correct…
Thanks again!!
Thanks Peter, I will update the list.
Hello my name is Neil Malley. Thank you for your marvellous work. Just a couple of corrections on the above comment. The Miserere is by Grigorio Allegri, not William Byrd and the choral piece in the Infernal Serpent is called Justorum Animae but it is the version by Orlande Di Lassus not the Byrd version
Hi Neil, welcome to my website. Sorry Neil but I don’t fully understand the first part of your comment. In my post I have written that the Miserere mei, Deus is by Gregorio Alligri. Thank you for the information regarding the choral piece.
…justorum animae- Orlando lassus.
Terrific! Your efforts are an opus itself. Many, many thanks.
Peter Cuthbertson
Thank you Peter and welcome to my website.
The hymn “The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, is Ended”, played in the church, around 1h6m into the episode: words, John Ellerton (1826-93); music, “St. Clement” by Clement Cotterill Scholefield (1839-1904). HTH
Ep. The Remorseful Day.
That lovely hymn is also used in the film “Yanks,” for the funeral of the mother of one of the main characters.
Just found you and this marvelous list! My husband was trying to remember a piece of music that was in one of the Morse episodes, but he didn’t know which one it was in. As I type this, he’s going through your list! Thank you for taking the time and effort to compile this list!
Hello Savannah and welcome to my website. I hope your husband finds the piece of music he is looking for. I will warn you that if you are in America some of the music is different from the British episodes due to copyright.
Thank You
Thank you so much! I’ve been hunting for the piece of music which turns out to be Schubert’s Quintet in C Major, 2nd Movement. Thanks to you, I can identify it. It’s a piece that moves me to tears.
Glad to be of help Penelope.
The Wolvercote Tongue
Les Troyens, (“The Trojans”) H133, Act III, Allegro Moderato by Hector Berlioz.
Amazingly wonderful enterprise — thank you so much!
The Wolvercote Tongue
Les Troyens, (“The Trojans”) H133, Act III, Allegro Moderato by Hector Berlioz.
I am hoping that it will be played at my funeral memorial! Many thanks to you Chris for your epic effort. Lesley
You state above that you were not able to find a youtube for this music, and so I found this and posted it. Sorry I posted it twice.
Ah, thank you Marge.
The piece at 00h 14m 18 in Ghost in the Machine is the very end of Tosca’s aria “Vissi d’arte” in the second act, minutes before she stabs Scarpia, the Chief of Police. So glad to be able to contribute to your great work!
Thank you Mimi, I’ve updated the excel sheet.
My goodness! You will be a very busy fellow. Best wishes on you new project. I was wondering if you were going to be providing a similar music list for Lewis and Endeavour. But I suppose not that you have school ahead of you.
Hi Corlyss. You can find the Endeavour music list here, https://morseandlewisandendeavour.com/2019/03/11/update-new-music-list-for-all-episodes-of-endeavour-with-pdf-excel-sheet-new-modern-music-list/ I’m working on the Lewis music list.
Hi Chris,
Last night I watched “The Wench is Dead” and the music at 00h57m58s bugged me for the rest of the night. Today I listened to all of my Schubert piano pieces until I found it again – the second movement (Andantino) of Piano Sonata No. 20 in A major, D.959. 🙂
What? All of them?
Thank you so much for this wondrous music gift. I also, with my siblings, have looked after my mom for the past six years. She passed away a month ago and I found myself rewatching all Morse episodes but immensely enjoying music. In looking for a resource to guide me in identifying selections I came across your work. Thank you, thank you. I look forward to your book and gladly buying myself and others copies.
Hello Nancy. I’m sorry to read about your mother passing. I hope you are finding a way to cope. Thank you Nancy for your kind words in regard to my music list. I’m glad you enjoyed it and hopefully you will enjoy the Lewis book when I get it finished.
This is brilliant! Thank you so much for this superb effort. I loved Morse in my teenage years and it introduced me to so much good music. I came here for the tune at the beginning of Daughters of Cain. Mesmerising! Thank you again xxx
You’re welcome Deborah I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for compiling the pdf and excel spreadsheet.
Regards
Raymond Williams
You’re welcome Raymond.
Here’s your Berlioz Allegro Moderato from Act III: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHNPuKcQa9k
And here’s the Euryanthe allegto marcato…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2gAHv4Xl9Q
Amazing and than you so very much!!!
Thank you sir! My wife and I recently discovered this wonderful series and the music is so much of its charm. I often grab the phone and use an app to identify the pieces and now I can use this to create some playlists.
Where are all the people who care to know more about opera because of this wonderful show? I sometimes search to find title of a piece, but until I found this blog, thought only someone like me was weird enough to bother. Thank you for your work.
Hi Jean, you are very welcome. There are a lot of ‘weird’ people who are very interested in the opera in the show.
This is fantastic. What a treat. Thank you so much.
I am 51 years old now and I noticed some years back I was losing the passion for popular music (not hitparade of course, don’t be daft) I once had. There had always been some interest in classical music for sure. But opera… never even considered it.
Until about 4 years ago, re-watching the Morse series, and I found myself wanting to know more and more what pieces were played. And then came the episode Masonic Mysteries. A day later I was searching YT for several versions of it. A month later the opera happened to be performed in the city I live.
Nowadays I hardly listen to anything but classical and opera. Morse for the win!
Thank you again.
Hi Lutek and welcome to my website. I’m so glad you enjoyed my list of music.
Many thanks for compiling this wonderful list and sharing it – I’ve long enjoyed the Morse, Lewis and Endeavour series both in their original airings and now in reruns, and always wanted to know more about the music. Thanks to you I can listen to pieces that intrigued me on the shows, in their entirety. What a gift.
You are very welcome Johanne.
Re: Les Troyens, (“The Trojans”) H133, Act III, Allegro Moderato by Hector Berlioz.
morseandlewisandendeavour.com writes : I’m afraid I couldn’t find a YouTube recording of the piece.
There is now a YT link available : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVuj-b0zXVE
Thank you Sonja. I have updated the post.
Thank you for this amazing volume of information. I binged on all of Morse a few weeks ago and wish I had had your work in front of me. Such an incredible amount of work!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this information.
As someone who is a lifelong Morse addict, but also listening increasingly to classical work [quartets are in general my preference], this site is invaluable. Currently listening to the lovely Debussy. Thank you so much!
Welcome to my website, Phil. I’m glad you are enjoying it.
Amazing! So much work and so great to have. Morse has introduced me to so much music! <3
Welcome to my my website Traci.
Thank-you so much! This is going to save me do much time!
Fantastic!
Thank you for hard working.
Greetings from Germany,

Dirk
Was directed to your absolutely brilliant web-site by someone on f/b after a query about “Cherubim and Seraphim” – when Morse has a headset on and says they are playing Hallelujah Chorus (Haendel – Messiah) I was expecting to hear that later on when the young guy was mixing music, but all I could identify was Miserere (Allegri) – I don’t know whether you have an explanation to this one? Other than that – your website has inspired me to go back and listen to some works that I have left behind long time ago – Verdi’s Gloria always sends me back to a time when I did 2nd bass part and I still sing it every time it is featured on radio..
hello,
if you put subtitles on, you will have the name of the pieces that are played !
thank you for all the work tou’ve done on Morse
greetings from a fan from France !
Thank you Roselyne.
Hi Chris, thank you for compiling this wonderfully comprehensive list.
With regards to the unidentified piece of music in Series 1, Episode 1, “Dead of Jericho”, at 00h45m35s, I believe you are correct that it is composed by Steve Reich, I am fairly sure that it is an excerpt from his composition, Music for 18 Musicians.
Thank you!!
You’re welcome Mark.
Thank you for these. This link is broken: Prelude in E-Minor (op.28 no. 4) by Frédéric Chopin.
There are a few replacements to choose from. One is here: youtube.com/watch?v=qNDHb4fbOuE
I really like how you’ve made an all-in-one list. Now that I’m rewatching Morse, after some years away, I’ve started compiling an all-in-one table showing:
– the dominant literary reference (Tosca, etc.)
– the main institution (usually a fictitious college), and the real-life venue(s) used for filming
– the woman receiving Morse’s attention
– the names of the deceased (the death rate, in the first twelve episodes anyway, is exactly three so far)
Hi Mark. I have already created a post about the death rate, who was killed and what weapon was used. Ive also did one for Lewis and Endeavour. https://morseandlewisandendeavour.com/2015/08/01/im-the-three-file-man/
Thank you Chris
You have added to my pleasure while watching Morse. My husband and I are re-watching Lewis and waiting for the last series of Endeavor.
Nancy (from Portland, OR US)
Hello Nancy. Thank you for your lovely comment. I hope you are enjoying rewatching the Lewis series.
Thank you Mr Sullivan, many regards from an Inspector Morse fan in Belgium…
You’re welcome, Hans.
Thank you Chris! From Providence, RI
Chris,
What a lovely gift you’ve birthed with this magnum opus! I’m a little late to the party but just finished re-watching Morse and Endeavor for the second time. I never thought to look for a resource like this until last night when I couldn’t find the selection from the Morse Season 5 finale and started looking. I can’t believe my good fortune! Thank you so much for sharing your work with the wider world.
Peace.
Linda
Thank you so much Linda for your lovely comment. I hope you find many things to interest you on my website.
