Intro to Also Sprach Zarathustra
Strauss' 1896 tone poem "Also Sprach Zarathustra" has become inextricably associated with spaceflight since its use in the 1968 science-fiction film "2001: A Space Odyssey." This arrangement simplifies the rhythmic notation for easier learning by beginning- and intermediate-level handbell choirs without diminishing the musical power of the piece. 34 measures.
