Somewhere there’s a “clicktrack” version of the music Kubrick used when originating the scenes (music initially selected before all the final decisions were made). I think Alex Gold, a superb composer for early television and the movies, had been considered to score the movie. Very haunting stuff it would have been! The program Tim mentions is available on our American YouTube, so I can also provide a link if Tim’s doesn’t work.<br><br><br><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: #715FFA; padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0">On Saturday, April 14, 2018, 7:10 AM, Tim Douglas via Afamilyatwar-list <afamilyatwar-list@baylor.edu> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div id="yiv7594402043"><div><div style="font-size:14pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color:black;"><div style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black;">There was a very interesting prog on BBC Radio 4 celebrating the 50th anniversary of "2001 a Space Odyssey , which contained some really fascinating stuff, including the fact that originally the film had voice over narration which explained all things audience now find so intriguing /puzzling and also (If I've remembered correctly ) the classical music,( the Viennese Waltz etc )was only there temporarily, to have music to edit against whilst a composer prepared the proper score !

<p class="yiv7594402043aolmail_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;">Yes, Scott, you are right on target about the impact of the Vaughan Williams excerpt in A FAMILY AT WAR. I am stirred anew each time I hear it. Another instance of classical usage that comes to mind are the
closing credits for the 1979 film, ALIEN, which used the glorious first movement of Howard Hanson's Symphony No. 2 ("Romantic").</span></p>

<p class="yiv7594402043aolmail_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;">Stanley Kubrick must have been quite knowledgeable about classical music. For his A CLOCKWORK ORANGE from 1971, he borrowed (and ruthlessly "modernised") themes from no fewer than four composers: Purcell,
Rossini, Beethoven, and Elgar.</span></p>

the last section of Rossini’s William Tell overture for the Lone Ranger radio/television program here in the USA. As a lifelong Vaughan Williams admirer, I never tire of hearing that plaintive hymn that opens and closes every episode. Stanley Kubrick did a
similar favor for Richard Strauss by choosing Also Sprach Zarathustra to open his epic 2001: A Space Odyssey. Sometimes ya just gotta go classical!
