Strauss.

 

Come again?

 

Yeah, you're right:

# Nietszche's Zarathustra: Nietszche wrote a book (Thus Spoke Zarathustra) about a man who lived among people for most of his life, went to a mountain cave for ten years, and then came back down to the world and witnesses the madness and insanity there. It is a violent sort of awakening, jarred from placidity to the harsh realities of life among others. It is a daybreak, into darkness. (Note that Phish played at Nietzche's in Buffalo, NY on 4/19/91, leaving their names inscribed on the ceiling, but didn't play 2001 for over two more years, reported by Aaron Westendorf, 10/8/98).

# Strauss's Zarathustra: Richard Strauss (a turn-of-the-century composer who also wrote Til Eulenspiegel Lustige Streiche and Don Quixote) borrowed Nietszche's title for his own (classical) piece, a tone poem nearly twenty minutes long, titled "Also Spracht Zarathustra". (Thanks also to Andrew S. Justice)

# 2001, the movie: Arthur C. Clarke and (director and fellow scriptwriter) Stanley Kubrick used the opening ("Dawn") portion of Strauss's piece as the theme song for their movie 2001: A Space Odyssey in which man leaves his hermitic, one-planet existence and ventures into the insanity and madness of "outer space". More confusion: The movie credits confuse Nietszche's English and Strauss' German, listing the tune as "Thus Sprach Zarathustra.

I got an 'A' in Dr. Hoffman's Music History class.
He hadn't changed his tests in 12 years. . . so I never really studied.
