Thus Spake Zarathustra, the music to the title sequence of Stanley
Kubrick's "A Space Odyessey", as played by a local school orchestra:

The final crescendo is amazing - pure discordance.

Well, maybe the quality of the musicianship is appropriate
for the ENTIRE piece, which, opening fanfare aside, is one
of the worst pieces of dreck ever written...

Aside from that, it brings up horrible memories of my
days in the high school band, particularly the recital
where I had a big dramatic solo on a difficult piece that
had a note that I could only SOMETIMES hit...and of course,
I didn't, and of course, the band director taped the
whole thing and played it back the next Monday...
