Rollerball - Albinoni (Above & Beyond Mix)
its a remix of the 17th cenutury Venecian composer Tomasco Albinoni. It is very much in the style of another classic trance remix: Wiliam Orbit - Barber's Adagio For Strings (Ferry Corsten Remix) |
i was wondering where i've heard that melody before....
i'm a classical musician too, played the violin and viola for over 12 years now, but recent years i've been playing the turntables
anyhow, in regards to lux aeterna in 'requiem for a dream', it is NOT composed by any classical composer. It is by Clint Mansell, who composed all of the soundtrack for the movie. He may have sampled from some obscure classical pieces, but that string line in 'lux aeterna' is a lil' too repetitive and cliche'd to be considered classical music. at most, maybe 20th century/contemporary classical music. random piece of info: lux aeterna means eternal light in Latin...fitting eh?
my favorite classical piece at the moment: Rimsky-Karsakov "Scheherazade Op. 35, 2nd mvt". imo, no classical piece tells a story as moving as this.
