Also sprach Zarathustra (Strauss)

Also sprach Zarathustra is a symphonic poem by Richard Strauss, composed in 1896 and inspired by the book of the same title by Friedrich Nietzsche. It is best known for its use in Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film ' (which is postulated to have also been inspired by Nietzsche's book, at least in part). The opening "Dawn" section is used three times, most famously in the opening title sequence.
