Um...sounds like the theme from a clockwork orange to me.

AKA: Funeral March of Queen Mary II by Henry Purcell

Thank you, Anything, for YouTube linkage "Connections." As orville sash points out, this music is now most familiar as a theme from A Clockwork Orange where it was rendered electronically by Wendy Carlos, but James Burke used a more traditional arrangement.
