Title Theme – A Clockwork Orange – Played by Denise Hewitt
Originally written by Henry Purcell (1659 – 1695) for the Funeral March of Queen Mary II (Died 28th December 1694) – This 17th Century Classic Processional Funeral March was originally scored for 4 trumpets, and then adapted for the Main Opening Title Theme Music of the 1971 film “A Clockwork Orange” which was directed by Stanley Kubrick. The electronic synthesized soundtrack was orchestrated by Wendy Carlos, together with Rachel Elkind, including adaptations of several other extremely well known classical music compositions including several parts of Beethoven’s Chorale 9th Symphony. The full soundtrack also includes excerpts from the William Tell Overture, the Thieving Magpie, Land of Hope and Glory, and the well-known 1st and 4th Pomp and Circumstance Marches composed by Sir Edward Elgar.
Wendy Carlos has been one of my musical inspirations and role models since my teenage years with her revolutionary & futuristic Moog Synthesizer adaptations that include “Switched-on-Bach” from way back in 1968, and of course the highly creative soundtrack for “A Clockwork Orange”.

This very personal interpretation of Henry Purcell’s – “Music for the Funeral March & Procession of Queen Mary” (1694) is performed on a vintage 1990s Technics PR60 Electronic Keyboard by amateur transgendered musician – Miss Denise Hewitt.

Originally demons …
Originally demons and angels were supposed to represent our vices and virtues, and even when they became anthropomorphized into actual things they were supposed to speak through emotion, without any words at all.
So doesn’t that mean music is the language of the angels and the demons? With music you can make people feel good or bad, angels and demons.

@MetalHeadWilson – The original music score was written by Henry Purcell for Queen Mary’s Funeral in 1695. This was orchestrated for synth by Wendy Carlos but for copyright reasons is not available on YouTube, so I hope you enjoy my alternative which is taken directly from Purcell’s 17thC score:) Warm Wishes – DeniseX

Usually people with “the artist’s hands” and an “extreme” attitude or ideas, but not necessarily eccentric. Rick Wright was hardly eccentric.
Gender only means so much.
Playing organs or piano is like saying..”Forget my larynx. I’m going to speak through this instead and say it even more clearly.”
