Also Sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30 - Strauss

# data[].attributes.body
I picture someone climbing a mountain and finally reaching the top after an incredibly difficult hike. It feels triumphant and gratifying. I know I have heard this in 2001: Space Odyssey and it feels like it would be used in a sunrise.

When listening to the video, I imagined a hero's journey coming to an end. At first, there is still some uncertainty and trouble before reaching the final destination. A few moments later, we can hear the music change into a grand and triumphant celebration as the hero finally reaches the end of their quest. I have heard this piece before in lots of TV advertisements, including phone and car commercials.

While listening to the video, I can picture a sunrise. It is almost like the saying "it's darkest before dawn," there is difficulty at the start of the journey, but towards the end, you prevail and you continue.

This excerpt conveys accomplishment.

I have heard this song before in movies like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when I was a kid.

1)The imagery that comes to mind is the opening title of a movie I know I'm probably going to enjoy. I can also imagine the sun rising over the desert horizon for some reason, or perhaps it's setting over an oasis.
2) I can't pin down which emotions I felt but I certainly felt a little dignified and solemn.
3) I think I've heard it as either an opening or closing piece in a film.

I picture someone at the end of a marathon, running that final stretch, and then finally crossing the finish line.

Emotions conveyed: A sense of conquering, and success. Feeling like a champion.

I know I have heard this before — I think opening of an event or arena?  When I was a kid in dance competitions they also used to play this before the award ceremonies.

1. The imagery that came to my mind first was Star Wars but then more broadly I thought about being in a big, dark, empty movie theater.
2. The emotion I felt was excitement.
3. I have heard this song used in many movies, typically exciting and action packed ones.

# data[].attributes.body
1. It is impossible for me to hear this without thinking of 2001: A Space Odyssey, so I picture the scene from that movie.
2. For me the emotion is excitement, again, because it is played at the start of a great movie, so I feel like I'm about to watch a great movie, which is weird because I know I'm not, it's just a youtube clip, but the movie is playing in my mind and hearing the song makes me want to watch it.
3. 2001: A Space Odyssey

1. Maybe it is due to the image accompanying the video on YouTube, but the imagery that I imagined had to do with space or space exploration. Before the audio started playing, I also glanced at a few comments relating this to the film 2001: A Space Odyssey which I have never seen. Along with Katya, I was also reminded of Star Wars, perhaps this is in the same key as the song we are thinking of?

2. I felt a "triumphant" mood from the piece.

3. I haven't seen "the" film this is used in (based on others' comments), but I would imagine this piece being used in a film where characters might be depicted as soaring, flying, or triumphing. (Also, a quick Google search reveals that I actually have heard this in a ton of films, and most others probably have as well. When you listen to a lot of music or watch a lot of films it can be hard to trace it back!)

1. I vividly remember watching 2001 A Space Odyssey. The music started playing when there was only a single ape on the barren ground. I also remember watching the conductor Gustavo Dudamel conducting this piece with the Berliner Philharmoniker.
2. I felt anticipation. The dynamics in the excerpt of the piece remind me a little bit of the Surprise Symphony by Haydn.
3. I heard this piece while watching 2001 A Space Odyssey and watching orchestral videos on YouTube.

# data[].attributes.body
1. When I hear this music I automatically feel like a little kid in the Movie Theatre.
2. It brings on waves of excitement and thrill. I always feel like this music is to build suspense and add drama.
3. I know I have heard it before watching a movie for sure.

# data[].attributes.body
1) warlike imagery comes to mind due to the drums and victory due to the tension & release dynamic
2) tension, relief, a sense of completion
3) this piece of music was used for the "entrance" music for University of South Carolina basketball team which I saw play many many times growing up. The marching band used the dynamics of the song quite well in interacting with the individual player announcements and overall build-up to the announcement of the head coach / end of announcement huddle etc.

Imagery: This music makes me think of a sun rising, but also the drum makes me think of soldiers marching.

Emotions: This song feels triumphant, evokes pride, accomplishment.

Context: Isn't this in star wars?

# data[].attributes.body
1. I'm immediately thinking about the opening scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Earth slowly emerging behind an eclipsing object. I can also picture the orchestra's and conductor's movements widening and intensifying as the piece goes on.

2. The piece balances moments of great intensity and restraint. To me, those contrasting elements create a feeling of greatness, conquering, victory, etc.

3. 2001: A Space Odyssey! I can also imagine it being used for a slow-motion scene at the end of sports movie where the underdog prevails.

1. Because this piece of music is so aligned in my mind with 2001: A Space Odyssey, it’s hard to think of something that isn’t influenced by that.  Images of space come to mind. This music is triumphant and bombastic so I feel it’s marks the dawn or beginning of something that has gone through or endured some kind of violence or challenge to come out on the other side. Like the winning of difficult battle.

2. The music feels physiological as if adrenaline is racing in the body after some triumph, victory or major achievement    or after enduring or overcoming some hardship or challenge. I guess the emotions would be a mix relief and exaltation.

3.  2001: A Space Odyssey.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I imagine tension of something large and epic that is about to arrive, and people waiting in anticipation for it. At the very end, it sounds triumphant and satisfying.
2. I first feel suspense, then anticipation, then triumph.
3. I believe I first heard this in Monsters Inc. in the scene where the scarers were arriving on the work platform while their colleagues watch in anticipation to demonstrate how much they are revered.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I imagine curtains rising and a person emerging from it. They are declaring victory from having had an exhausting battle of some kind.

2. The emotions they convey for me are suspense in the beginning but is then followed by a triumphant sound.

3. I have heard this song before in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey

# data[].attributes.body
1. I am also reminded of 2001: A Space Odyssey, but I think the imagery of a beginning of any sort comes to mind, though the video on the youtube clip is likely influencing that.

1. When I hear this music, a imagine the main character of a movie or tv show making a grand entrance into the main hall.
2. Emotions conveyed in this music are exciting, triumphant, and suspenseful.
3. Being that I am also a music teacher, I have used this music in my classroom many times but I have also heard this music in many other places. A few years ago, I traveled to California to visit family and while I was there I saw one of my favorite bands in concert. They played this song before they came out on stage and went right into their first song.

1. Imagines that come to my mind hearing this are a ship taking off or something rising out of the ground like a reveal.

2. The emotions this piece tries to convey to me are, excitement, triumph. There is a rising sort of feeling but it passes quickly.

3.Listening to this made me picture presentations for new products like a phone or a car. I feel like i only ever hear this piece for large reveals or entrances.

Approaching something like summit or end of tunnel.

Surprise, myster and wonder

Youtube videos, space/science/hiking

1) At the beginning of the song, I imagine that we are in a sci-fi movie and the charcaters are on the verge of some kind of space discovery. As the song winds down, I imagine the astronauts or explorers are finishing their voyage and returning home.

2) Excitement, Adventure and Discovery.

3) I can imagine this song being used in a sci-fi movie having to do with something space-related.
