<P> The soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick 's A Clockwork Orange was released to accompany the 1971 film of the same name . The music is a thematic extension of Alex 's ( and the viewer 's ) psychological conditioning . The soundtrack of A Clockwork Orange comprises classical music and electronic synthetic music composed by Walter Carlos . Some of the music is heard only as excerpts , e.g. Edward Elgar 's Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 ( a.k.a. Land of Hope and Glory ) heralding a politician 's appearance at the prison . The main theme is an electronic transcription of Henry Purcell 's Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary , composed in 1695 , for the procession of Queen Mary 's cortège through London en route to Westminster Abbey . `` March from ' A Clockwork Orange ' '' ( based on the choral movement of the Ninth Symphony by Beethoven ) was the first recorded song featuring a vocoder for the singing ; synthpop bands often cite it as their inspiration . Neither the end credits nor the soundtrack album identify the orchestra playing the Ninth Symphony excerpts , however , in Alex 's bedroom , there is a close - up of a microcassette tape labeled : Deutsche Grammophon -- Ludwig van Beethoven -- Symphonie Nr. 9 d - moll , op . 125 -- Berliner Philharmoniker -- Chor der St. Hedwigskathedrale -- Ferenc Fricsay -- Irmgard Seefried , Maureen Forrester , Dietrich Fischer - Dieskau , Ernst Haefliger . </P>
