Did you know? The Dream of Jacob (aka "The Awakening of Jacob"), composed by a Polish composer, Krzysztof Penderecki (1933 - 2020), is a composition that's featured in the horror movie (for example, "The Shining"). This composition can be heard when Danny (Danny Lloyd) talks to Tony in the bathroom, then Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) sleeping on his typewriting desk in the Colorado Lounge while having a nightmare, and of course, a woman in the bathtub in room 237.
it seems there are two versions of this piece, the Dream of Jacob and the Awakening of Jacob. Both have the same notes, but they sound different. The Awakening has a more dischordant and jarring swell than Dream and is more intense, a better render in my opinion.
@@infinitesimotel I love it but my only issue is 5:47 and 6:03 are barely audible in the piece now. I get it's supposed to sound messy but you can do that while keeping the actual part intact. Kinda missed a little of the charm when you hear the melody in its glory.
I actually really like this. I've listened to it so many times that I don't find it scary any more. I just think it's a brilliantly constructed piece of atmosphere.
I mean you have to think that Jacob was frightened out of his mind seeing all these strange beings going up and down some crazy ladder into the sky. And then God shows up and picks a fight to top it off. I think this piece perfectly captures all the fear and confusion he must’ve felt.
I was in Monte Carlo for the premier of this piece in the summer of '74. It was the Silver Jubilee of his Highness Rainier III of Monaco. The Casino was closed to the public that night and an orgy of legendary proportions took place (sweetmeats aplenty, of course). Golden coins, in commemoration of the event, were struck and given to each participant.
Must have been fun! The score has this dedication: _"Oeuvre dédiée à S.A.S. le Prince Rainier III de Monaco à l'occasion du vingtcinquième anniversaire de son avènement"._ The date was 14 August 1974, performed by the Orchestre National de l’Opéra de Monte Carlo, with Stanisław Skrowaczewski conducting. The motto of the piece is Genesis 28, 16-17.
@@JanPBtest Were you there, or did you know someone who was there. The coins were bound under oath never to be bought or sold. They were to forever be mementos. Just wondering.
@@JanPBtest And thank you! It brings back memories. I was only there as a guest of the Jubilee, and I remember how evocative this sounded. I also remember Penderecki himself fled Dodge when he caught wind of what we had in store for ourselves. I shouldn't be saying any of this anyway, but I figure it can't hurt in a YT comment.

I gotta say classical music gives me more imagery than any other genre probably because it gives our imagination a place to explore without unnecessary connotations tying it down!
No. Classical music is full of connotations,imagery,meanings and lore from previous times and foreign cultures [even now ligeti and most others continually delve into rare info] and mythologies from all around the world,and worse lots of arcane knowledge you have to be inducted in. o you know what Jacob's story even refers to ?
Penderecki is more than a reflection of an era. It’s a phantom asteroid who returns to set his sights on sound art. A decadent wave laden with paradoxes from which obscurantism and the irrational escape, hypnotic factors defying vulnerable souls in search of the infinity. This sound architecture is an translucid and short tunnel that leads to light
I mean yeah, pretty much. Wasn't Jacob a vulnerable soul in search of infinity? If so, this piece reflects his first dose of what he was seeking. Wasn't that why he was chosen over his hopelessly worldly and materially-bound brother, Easu? That brother who was so determined to blast into this material world that Jacob had to hitch a ride his leg out of the womb? This was Jacob's first taste of things not of this world and it captures the fright he must have felt. Just my take
James Horner used the opening notes as a reference for his score "Aliens" when the dropship sees the beacon of "Hadley Hope". On an interesting note Jerry Goldsmith took a couple of tunes as reference for his score "Freud" from Bartók: "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, Sz. 106 - 3. Adagio" which was also used in Shining (NOTE It was put in for the shaft sequence in Alien, much to Goldsmith's dismay)
12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. 13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; 14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. 16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not. 17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. 18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it. 19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first. 20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, 21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God: 22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
@@johnpcomposer God gives to his children the revelation, and the consequence is people doing things by their beliefs in God. As in that time happend, also in this time is happening. But obviously culture, lenguage, politics, technology, civilizations, etc. have changed.
I'm not completely sure but I attempted to transcribe it and I came up with Dbmaj7#5 (no 3rd). I'm completely positive that Db is the highest note and pretty sure that A is the lowest. This chord would make sense since Db would be the Neapolitan chord in C, which is the notated key of the piece
@@Justgetsumzs I read somewhere that the instruments were tuned weird at the request of Penderecki to some custom pitches to fit his idea. Alsot that his music was not even written with standard notation either, just pictures and indications.
The official ident for this chord is: X sharp 27 major squashed 5th divided by e/pi* sqrt( 1 / !cherry tart ) all to the power of twilight lemons, inflated suspended 3.333... which must be played with all fingers and toes, hanging upside down in a room full of helium while wearing a green batman costume with the crotch cut out.
Yes indeed. And guess what? This composition, "The Dream of Jacob," can be featured in the horror movie, "The Shining," produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick. Am I right?
This score is quite interesting. It seems to fill the gap between the fore-running scores of his beginning and the neo expressionist, neo romantic scores that were to follow., it looks like if it derived from the two periods both. Nevertheless, the global feeling is a score of this second manner, written with tools looking back to the first manner with a touch of nostalgia ❤🧡💛🤎💛🧡❤

Esattamente come la glaciale "Musica per archi, percussioni e celesta" di Bela Bartok.
Besides Ben Johnson’s string quartet, I e just been finding uneasy music like this for the right fitting mood of depravity I am falling in.
This piece always seemed to indicate the presence of psychic activity in the movie, good (Tony) or bad (Mrs. Massey the tub lady)

Penderecki is one of the most fascinating (and underplayed) composers of the 20th Century
Agreed, but I think a time will come when he is rediscovered

Stunning! Also used in David Lynch's Inland Empire.
this music is dark and disturbing yet beautiful in its essence. i now understand why johnny greenwood is attracted to krzystof penderecki's works.

thought of that instantly.
Imagine how could it'd be if this was in Jacob's Ladder, the film
and jacob awaken from his sleep and said "surely god is in this place and i know it is not true."
Don't you know it. God isn't here, that's why they have to build churches.
This was also used in the powerful Polish thriller Katyń (2007).
Judging by what’s been posted, I can understand why the comments section of some CZcams offerings are turned off.

12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.
17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
