What is the bagpipe music at the end?


I mean specifically the bagpipe (with some kind of guitar and percussion) music played after the convictions are overturned at the end, when Gerry is making his way out of the courthouse.

You Made Me The Thief Of Your Heart

Written and arranged by Gavin Friday with Maurice Seezer, performed by Sinéad O'Connor.

That Irish portion of the song is perfect for that moment in the film, absolute genius burst-of-triumphant-Irish-euphony orchestration

Ironically, no bagpipes were performed. The producers used distorted sounds of an accordion, and bass flutes and bass clarinets and fiddles, to create the Uilleann pipe/tin whistle sound.
