Most often recognized as the theme to 2001--A Space Odyssey, this monumental tone poem (based on Nietszche's work of the same name) is an epic of nine continuous sections. The work evolves as a musical survey of mankind, ranging from contemplative Gregorian chant movements to the burlesques of the cafes of Strauss' Germany.
