Cause and Effect presents:
The highlight of this episode is a choral/symphonic suite I have assembled of three Ligeti pieces from the soundtrack to 2001: A Space Odyssey: Atmospheres, Lux Aeterna, and Requiem II: Kyrie Eleison, heard here in their entirety. Ligeti’s music was also featured in The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut.
Remember this tune as you watch the opening credits of The Shining:
The Shining opening credits theme by Wendy Carlos is adapted from this Berlioz piece. Listen:
This is the song HAL-9000 sings as Dave Bowman is disconnecting him in 2001:A Space Odyssey:
