2001: time travel

[edit]

The article states that "Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey also featured Utrenja and The Dream of Jacob extensively". Something must be wrong here, as 2001 was released in 1968, before Utrenja (1970/71) and The Dream of Jacob (1974) were written. I don't have access to the sources to see what they actually say. --Deskford (talk) 12:34, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think you could be right. The original quotation that I consulted is a description by Cindy Bylander, which reads: "This article contains a brief discussion about the compositions by Penderecki that were used in the film “2001, A Space Odyssey.” Approximately two thirds of the film’s score is made from excerpts from Utrenia, The Awakening of Jacob, and De Natura Sonoris No. 2." I just checked IMDb, and no reference is made to Utrenja. Therefore, the only explanation I can come up with is that only sketches of Utrenja were used in the film, since the composition was premiered two years later. Still, I will try to verify that.

As a matter of fact, The Dream of Jacob was finished in 1974, which makes me think that that is not a very reliable source. Should I remove that sentence? Wildbill hitchcock (talk) 13:07, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think it might be best to remove it. I've seen 2001 and I don't remember hearing any Penderecki in it. --Deskford (talk) 13:19, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It was used in The Shining. Should be fixed.
