     The Day the Earth Stood Still is a 1951 black/white science fiction film that tells the story of a humanoid alien who comes to Earth to warn its leaders not to take their conflicts into space, or they will face devastating consequences. Produced in the aftermath of World War II, the start of the Cold War, the development & use of the first atomic bombs. The film strongly & iconically addresses issues of violence, politics, & the fear of global annihilation.

The score was composed by Bernard Herrmann. It is notable for its use of two theremins. The soundtrack was composed in August of 1951. It was Herrmann's first soundtrack after he moved to Hollywood. Herrmann chose unusual instrumentation for the film including electric violin, electric bass, two fully electronic theremin played by Dr Samuel Hoffman & Paul Shure), test oscillators, vibraphone, four pianos, four harps, & approximately 30 brass instruments. Unusual overdubbing & tape-reversal techniques were used, as well.
