0:00:05 > 0:00:09Today, film and games are jam-packed with orchestral music.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11You know why?

0:00:11 > 0:00:14Because you name any emotion, any feeling,

0:00:14 > 0:00:18and the orchestra can create it in music.

0:00:18 > 0:00:19From heartache and pain

0:00:19 > 0:00:21to fear and dread.

0:00:24 > 0:00:27MUSIC: Dies Irae by Giuseppe Verdi

0:00:27 > 0:00:30Welcome to the end of the world.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36This is what it sounds like.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40The sky seems to be ripping open with the sound of those drums.

0:00:40 > 0:00:41And those voices...

0:00:42 > 0:00:45I can't seem to get them out of my head.

0:00:45 > 0:00:46Uh-oh.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49MACHINERY BUZZES

0:00:49 > 0:00:51They're singing "dies irae" -

0:00:51 > 0:00:53that's Latin for Day of Judgment -

0:00:53 > 0:00:57and they sing it over and over and over again.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59It isn't a question, it's a statement.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Life is over.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07It's like disaster movie music.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11An orchestral storm destroying everything in its path...

0:01:11 > 0:01:12including me!

0:01:16 > 0:01:17That's because the Day of Judgment,

0:01:17 > 0:01:20according to some people, is the time when everyone that's ever lived

0:01:20 > 0:01:22will be brought before the throne of God.

0:01:25 > 0:01:26They're summoned by a fanfare,

0:01:26 > 0:01:29a fanfare loud enough to wake the dead,

0:01:29 > 0:01:32and then each person's soul either rises up to heaven

0:01:32 > 0:01:35or descends into the fiery pits of hell.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38SHE GASPS There's the trumpets!

0:01:38 > 0:01:40It's starting.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44This Dies Irae is by Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi,

0:01:44 > 0:01:47who knew that for believers listening to his music in 1874,

0:01:47 > 0:01:50the Day of Judgment was no story...

0:01:50 > 0:01:52it was real.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55So, Verdi brings that terrible day to life for his audience.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58It's his warning in music

0:01:58 > 0:02:01of an incredible power far greater than us.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Right now, it still makes me feel small...

0:02:04 > 0:02:05fragile...

0:02:05 > 0:02:06scared.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08But maybe because there's another vast power

0:02:08 > 0:02:10that we're all at the mercy of...

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Nature.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14SHE GASPS

0:02:14 > 0:02:16And this music sounds to me like a warning -

0:02:16 > 0:02:20if we don't respect nature - of our own possible dies irae.
