I was rewatching The Shining just now, and noticed a discrepancy that doesnt seem to have been explained. When Jack enters the Gold Room in a past party, Midnight, The Stars and You is playing. The end of the movie with the portrait dates those events at the 4th of July, 1921, which couldn't have been possible because Midnight the stars and you was written in 1934. Was this intentional to show how arbitrary the passing of time is from a viewpoint in the present, or was it an oversight?

Was this detail mentioned by anyone in Room 237? If it was I forgot about it.

I found reference to the selection of music in "Listening to Stanley Kubrick: The Music in His Films" (starts toward the bottom of the page). The production team solicited songs from 1920-1935. In the end Kubrick chose 4 songs from the 1930s.

So the choice was intentional but that doesn't explain Kubrick's motives. It's hard to say whether he wanted to be anachronistic or simply thought 1930s music worked better.

I was thinking they could tie it in with their statements about impossible architecture of The Overlook. The music is another impossibility. Personally I think it was purely a stylistic choice - the music was chosen because conveyed the right mood.

While we're one the subject what's with the main theme being a rendition of Berlioz's Symphony fantastique? Here are the two tracks for reference skip to 3:45 in the second vid to hear the theme

The book also talks about that striking music during the opening shot:

> At one point in pre-production, Kubrick asked Wendy Carlos about appropriate music for graves and death, and she suggested the chant commonly known from the Roman Catholic Requiem mass, the Dies Irae. One of the chant’s most famous appearances is in the final movement of Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique from 1830, a piece that Carlos recommended to Kubrick. In typical Kubrick fashion, it had a strong effect on him, and like Prokofiev’s score to Alexander Nevsky that he owned as a child, he played it, Carlos estimates, more than a hundred times. In that time, he forged a deep connection to the music.

It's interesting that Dies Irae is frequently quoted in other scores: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hL1m4hGBVY
