Here is one of the most brilliant, evocative, and at times sonically brutal pieces ever written. If you don't know it already, prepare yourself.
Side note: I need to not listen to this piece while highway driving. It induces aggression.
Igor Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring (1913)
New York Philharmonic Orchestra (1958) conducted by Leonard Bernstein

Most famously the dance of the adolescent girls was used for the dinosaur scene in the original Fantasia.
also if you ever listen to any of John Williams' movies scores, you can clearly hear how heavily this influenced him.
@voltronic I feel like I’ve heard bits and pieces of this before
