Wich symphony of Gustav Malher had influenced Wendy Carlos for Kubrick "The Shining" main score theme?

Question

I don't want know anything else except the title of this symphony (a reprise made by Wendy Carlos for the eerie main theme of the horror movie "The Shining" by Stanley Kubrick) - And not the title of the movie score soundtrack.

The original was a part of a Gustav Mahler symphony - I don't even want to know the part itself but just the symphony.

This is in the movie at the beginning with the generic and the camera plane pan over the Rockies Montains (in North America).

Thanks for the help.

(by the way if anyone knows the Malher symphony that help Wendy Carlos to compose the main theme of Clockwork Orange - I would be also extremly thankful)

Thanks.

Answer 1

I think it is more "indirect" than that...:
I believe you may referring to (some of) the music from Symphony No. 9" in D Minor Op. 125 which Gustav Mahler has arranged, but Beethoven had originally composed.
Mahler was "famous" for using existing melodies, and calling it "The Mahler Edition of...". Example, his Symphony Nr. 1 in D-major, where he uses "Frère Jacques, dormez-vous ....?) as the lead theme. There is also a Mahler edition of Beethoven's symphony in E-flat major Op.55 ("Eroica").
Hope that gets you on the right track.....

Answer 2

It wasn't Mahler being quoted in "The Shining." The melody is an old latin chant from the 1200s called "Dies Irae" - "Day of Judgement. A lot of composers have used it, such as Berlioz, Liszt, and Rachmaninoff.

Mahler "sorta" used the melody in his Symphony No.2, but it's surrounded in enough counterpoint to make it hard to identify.
