Information... 2001: A Space Odysseyis a soundtrack album to thefilm of the same name, released in 1968. The soundtrack is known for its use of many classical and orchestral pieces, and credited for giving many classical pieces resurgences in popularity, such asJohann Strauss II's 1866Blue Danube Waltz,Richard Strauss' symphonic poemAlso sprach Zarathustra, andGyrgy Ligeti'sAtmosphres. The soundtrack has been re-issued multiple times, including a digitally remastered version in 1996. Released June 1968 Recorded19581968 Genre Classical Length 36:41 Label MGM Records From very early in production,Kubrickdecided that he wanted the film to be a primarily nonverbal experiencebthat did not rely on the traditional techniques ofnarrativecinema, and in which music would play a vital role in evoking particular moods. About half the music in the film appears either before the first line of dialogue or after the final line. Almost no music is heard during any scenes with dialogue. The film is notable for its innovative use ofclassical musictaken from existing commercial recordings, in contrast to most feature films then and now, which are typically accompanied by elaboratefilm scoresor songs written specially for them by professional composers. 2001is particularly remembered for the use of the opening theme from theRichard Strausstone poemAlso sprach Zarathustra(usually translated as "Thus Spake Zarathustra" or "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" ), performed by theVienna Philharmonicconducted byHerbert von Karajan. The use of Strauss'sZarathustramay be a reference to the theme of mankind's eventual replacement by overmen (bermenschen, notUntermenschen), in Nietzsche's bookThus Spoke Zarathustra. The piece is first heard in the opening title which juxtaposes the Sun, Earth, and Moon. It is subsequently heard when an ape first learns to use a tool, and when Bowman is transformed into the Star-Child at the end of the film.Zarathustrathus acts as a bookend for the beginning and end of the film, and as a motif signifying evolutionary transformations, first from ape to man, then from man to Star-Child. eBay Store spinplay67
