Although I have done it as a piano solo, this is the very famous "Sunrise" fanfare from Richard Strauss's 1896 tone poem, "Also Sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30." It was composed in 1896 and inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche's 1883–1885 philosophical work of the same name. Strauss conducted its first performance on 27 November 1896 in Frankfurt. A typical performance lasts roughly 33 minutes.
The initial fanfare – titled "Sunrise" in the composer's program notes – became extremely well known after its use in Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film "2001: A Space Odyssey." Eumir Deodato's jazz-funk hit version won the 1974 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. Other uses of this song in popular culture include Elvis Presley using it as live entrance music for his live performances from 1971 to 1977 (the year he died), the BBC using it for their coverage of the Apollo space missions, and legendary professional wrestler Ric Flair using it as his entrance music.Original music is now public domain
