Today, film and games are jam-packed with orchestral music.

0:00:050:00:09

You know why?

0:00:090:00:11

Because you name any emotion, any feeling,

0:00:110:00:14

and the orchestra can create it in music.

0:00:140:00:18

From heartache and pain

0:00:180:00:19

to fear and dread.

MUSIC: Dies Irae by Giuseppe Verdi

0:00:240:00:27

Welcome to the end of the world.

0:00:270:00:30

This is what it sounds like.

0:00:340:00:36

The sky seems to be ripping open with the sound of those drums.

0:00:360:00:40

And those voices...

0:00:400:00:41

I can't seem to get them out of my head.

0:00:420:00:45

Uh-oh.

0:00:450:00:46

MACHINERY BUZZES

0:00:460:00:49

They're singing "dies irae" -

0:00:490:00:51

that's Latin for Day of Judgment -

0:00:510:00:53

and they sing it over and over and over again.

0:00:530:00:57

It isn't a question, it's a statement.

0:00:570:00:59

Life is over.

0:00:590:01:01

It's like disaster movie music.

0:01:040:01:07

An orchestral storm destroying everything in its path...

0:01:070:01:11

including me!

0:01:110:01:12

That's because the Day of Judgment,

0:01:160:01:17

according to some people, is the time when everyone that's ever lived

0:01:170:01:20

will be brought before the throne of God.

0:01:200:01:22

They're summoned by a fanfare,

0:01:250:01:26

a fanfare loud enough to wake the dead,

0:01:260:01:29

and then each person's soul either rises up to heaven

0:01:290:01:32

or descends into the fiery pits of hell.

0:01:320:01:35

SHE GASPS There's the trumpets!

0:01:350:01:38

It's starting.

0:01:380:01:40

This Dies Irae is by Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi,

0:01:400:01:44

who knew that for believers listening to his music in 1874,

0:01:440:01:47

the Day of Judgment was no story...

0:01:470:01:50

it was real.

0:01:500:01:52

So, Verdi brings that terrible day to life for his audience.

0:01:520:01:55

It's his warning in music

0:01:550:01:58

of an incredible power far greater than us.

0:01:580:02:01

Right now, it still makes me feel small...

0:02:010:02:04

fragile...

0:02:040:02:05

scared.

0:02:050:02:06

But maybe because there's another vast power

0:02:060:02:08

that we're all at the mercy of...

0:02:080:02:10

Nature.

0:02:100:02:12

SHE GASPS

0:02:120:02:14

And this music sounds to me like a warning -

0:02:140:02:16

if we don't respect nature - of our own possible dies irae.
