What is that piece of music?


If anyone knows what the melodramatic piece of music is that keeps
being repeated throughout the movie, please let me know.

It sounds like the closing theme to Alien, but this film is 15 years
older than that.

The main classical music is a slowed down version of Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. It became a staple of the "Omen" movies about 10 years later. Much of the other electronic incidental music that appears in the film, such as the "whistling harmonica" music during the birth of the baby robot, is by Bob Cowan, one of the stars.

And how do you know this? Are you his secret lover?

I guess I'm four years late to reply to your inquiry, but if you're still wondering it's Howard Hansen's "Romantic" Syphony Number 2

It's from Howard Hanson's 2nd Symphony 'Romantic' dimwits, which also appears in Ridley Scott's 'Alien'. Any idiot familiar with 20th century classical music can tell you that, though I doubt anyone around still cares. Sorry, but I just watched this for the 1st time.
