Also sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30

Richard Strauss, a German composer and conductor, wrote his most famous music, the tone poem ‘Thus Spake Zarathustra’, in 1896. It was inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophical novel by the same name. Each of the nine pieces are named after a chapter in Nietzsche’s novel on Zarathustra’s philosophical journey, respectively: Sunrise, Of the Backworldsmen, Of the Great Longing, Of Joys and Passions, The Song of the Grave, Of Science and Learning, The Convalescent, The Dance Song, and Song of the Night Wanderer. It was first performed in Frankfurt on November 27 1896, running for about 33 minutes. Stanley Kubrick in his 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, introduced and popularised Also sprach Zarathustra in its initial fanfare entitled “Sunrise.”
