VA - A Clockwork Orange Soundtrack [1971]

Genre/Género: Soundtrack.
Sounds Like/Suena como: Wendy Carlos, Sir Edward Elgar, Erika Eigen.

The film’s soundtrack comprises classical music and electronic synthetic music composed by Wendy Carlos (credited at the time to Walter Carlos).

Some of the pieces of classical music excerpted make only the briefest appearance in the film, a case in point being the “Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1″ theme better known as “Land of Hope and Glory”, which is used in highly ironic fashion to herald the appearance of a politician in the prison, and is not heard again.

The main theme is an electronic transcription of Henry Purcell’s Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary, composed in 1695 for the procession of Queen Mary’s cortège through the streets of London enroute to Westminster Abbey.

The film’s music can be interpreted as a thematic extension of Alex’s psychological conditioning, affecting the viewers.
