 Stanley Kubrick (qv) planned to have Alex North (qv) (who wrote  the score for Kubricks _Spartacus (1960)_ (qv)) write a musical  score especially for the film. During filming, Kubrick played  classical music on the set to create the right mood. Delighted with  the effect, he decided to use classical music in the finished  product. Norths score has subsequently been released as "Alex  Norths 2001" (Varese/Sarabande 5400).
