 A little off topic, but does anyone know what music is being played over the trailer. I'd really like to know

Okay greenpenguino, you got me curious about that, so I went over to Soundtrack.net, as I find their trailer music info. is usually quite comprehensive there.  (If you click on 'resources' at the top of their homepage, you'll then get a 'trailer music' option.  Once you click on that, you'll then get an alphabet to choose whatever movie you're interested in)

Well, it turned out that their trailer music listing for 'Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope' shows it as being 'The Four Seasons: "Winter" by Antonio Vivaldi.

But I'm not sure if that's actually correct or not, however. 

yes, it's been reported many times as being the first movement of "Winter" from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and I'm pretty sure it is, too. It may not be very recognizable here because usually the piece is played at a faster tempo. Here's a recording with a similarly slow tempo:

EDIT

I stand corrected, the recording in the trailer is even slower, as the same bars of music that should be played in 40-45 seconds are stretched out over 2 minutes of screen time!

I looked more into this, as I've always wanted to find the original recording of this particular rendition of "Winter". But there was no way I could've been able to, and here's why: as it should've been evident from the start, the track is not played at a slow tempo, it is definitely slowed down, that is, it plays at the wrong speed. In fact, if you speed the trailer's audio by a factor of 55 (value used in Audacity), now it suddenly sounds familiar, cause it's the right key! :D It still won't play in sync with any other recording of "Winter", though, because it is chopped up, i.e. some bars of music have been looped a little longer than others, probably to match the action better.

But anyway, now there's a better chance (little, as opposed to zilch) that one may be able to find that specific recording. I haven't been able to match it with anything on the Internet Archive, sadly.
