I need to know the name of an orchestral work. It has percussion and a little bit of brass. It goes a little bit like this:

bah bah buh bum bum dum dum dum

It is often associated with space. I had seen it performed (with men were banging large drums) on PBS 20 something years ago and I know it is a very well known tune. I think it ends with drums escalating and a cymbal clash.

Are you talking about Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss?

So, was it the bah bah buh bum or the bum dum dum dum that gave it away to you?

I was thinking the same thing however, I thought it only had TWO "dum dum's" so the third one kinda threw me!
