The oboe theme was very effective, and I also enjoyed the music to Mission.
But, I think the movie was strong enough to provide a strong emotional
impact without music.  And, I'm not so sure that, without music, the impact
wouldn't have been even greater.  Silence can definitely generate its own
impact.
