People who can't stifle a loud cough should be ... well, I better not say it. But I really can't think of a punishment severe enough. [other YouTube choices were all inferior to this wonderful performance.]

Yes, you 2001 freaks will geek out when see how these talented human beings actually produced this brilliant music. written by one of the 20th century's greatest composers.

The Kyrie movement is heard at every appearance of the monolith.
