The Shining
Please screen Stanley Kubrick’s film, The Shining. Pay close attention to the music and how the music work with the film to convey the story. The score is built with quite a lot of music by Krzysztof Penderecki – the composer of Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima. It also includes some music by the Hungarian composer, Bela Bartok. Look for a module on Bartok.
Your assignment is to write an informal piece on your experience of The Shining.
Also: Please review the Adagio for Strings module, paying close attention to the article:
From Funerals To Festivals, The Curious Journey Of The Adagio For Strings
There is also some material on Penderecki in the Threnody module which should be of interest to you.
