9. What was the name of the music/song that was playing when Elizabeth & Mr. Darcy were dancing at the Netherfield Ball?It was track #8 titled "A Postcard to Henry Purcell" from the Original Motion Picture soundtrack for Pride & Prejudice.
10. What was the name of the song that was playing when Elizabeth was running in the rain from the church?As Elizabeth runs in the rain from the Church to the first proposal scene, it was to track #13 "Darcy's Letter,"
Another explanation (from dozedoff of IMDB's P&P mb)...It was the first 34 seconds of the 13th song on the soundtrack, called "Darcy's Letter" (rest of song continues when Lizzie's back at the parsonage and when Darcy delivers his letter). Played only when Lizzie's running from church to the gazebo (Apollo's Temple) in the rain. No music is actually heard during the first proposal itself, just rain...and maybe an imaginary whispered). that was playing in the movie, which was the first part of the cut, 0 to 0:34 sec.
