The song is called "O Verona" and was composed by Baz Luhrman and Craig Armstrong and is available on William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet: Music from the Motion Picture Volume 2. Unfortunately, it cannot be downloaded from iTunes.

You're probably relating it to the classical choral composition "O Fortuna" by Carl Orff which became unable to be used in films, though I'm not sure why, so now in trailers people will use the O Verona composition instead. They wanted to use O Fortuna but were denied and so used it to inspire their own composition.

It's lovely, isn't it? It's part of the score for the movie written by the Scottish composer Craig Armstrong. It is available for purchase on Amazon as part of the second volume of the soundtrack. It's just called "Death Scene"

Dreams by J. Cole. Actually it could be anything since every production will have a different song. At least we hope that the directors are not so unoriginal as to use someone else's song.

Different people in different productions. If you are talking about the Franco Zeffirelli film, it was Glen Weston.
