Paper Summary:

Describes and analyzes the score used in the Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of "2001: A Space Odyssey". The paper provides descriptions of scenes in the movie and the accompanying music and explains the images that the music attempts to project through the use of sound, voice, and silence.

From the Paper:

"The film is not only a visual experience; it is also a musical journey. Filmed at a slow pace, the opening scene is an image shot from behind earth's moon with the sun rising over the earth's crescent shape in the blackness of space. This scene shows the earth, moon, and sun in a vertical alignment. Richard Strauss's Thus Spake Zarathustra is playing in the background. This scene is striking and beautiful and Strauss's piece sets the mood for what must be the majestic experience of outer space."
