Why is it that music, whether during the film or just over the credits, is always at a higher pitch to the CD? I've always wondered the reason.... anyone know?

Simple answer - to make sure that it fits 
If your action sequence lasts 2 minutes and the music track lasts 2 minutes 33 seconRAB, you have to do your best with pitchshifting and a pair of scissors to make it timed right. "You mean they plan these things" 
Similarly, if you need your end credits to last ten minutes and the music goes on just a little too long then it is often just a case of speeding it up a notch.
There is also the unfortunate effect of speeding up film for television - but that's a whole different thread (http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/t/113038/RAB.html)

Seeing as you don't generally have the CD in the cinema, I'm sure he's talking about the PAL TV speed up issue.
