Since the links in the other threads seem to have gone down, here is all I could gather of the music used in or written for the film. Sorry about the bit rate; it's the best I could manage.
The track notes are adapted from Shining Music (http://www.drummerman.net/shining/music.html).
01 - Wendy Carlos & Rachel Elkind - Main Title "The Shining" (3:31)
This piece was based on the "Dies Irae" (Day of Wrath), a traditional Catholic funeral dirge. Carlos plays synthesizer while Elkind supplies the eerie vocal effects. This is Carlos' adaptation of "Symphonie Fantastique" by Hector Berlioz.
02 - Wendy Carlos & Rachel Elkind - Rocky Mountains (3:04)
Plays as the family is driving to the Overlook.
03 - Gy�rgy Ligeti � Lontano (7:04)
Performed by Sinfonie-Orchester des S�dwestfunks
Conducted by Ernest Bour
Composed in 1967. Used in 3 different points in the film. First plays when Danny first sees the twins in the "Games" room. Second occurence is when Halloran is showing Wendy the storeroom and "shines" with Danny. Also plays when Wendy first discovers that the Overlook's phone lines are down.
04 - B�la Bartok - Music For Strings, Percussion And Celesta - movement III (8:05)
Performed by Berliner Philharmoniker
Conducted by Herbert von Karajan
Composed in 1936. Extensive sections of this movement are featured 3 times in the film. The first occurs as Wendy chases Danny through the hedgemaze early in the film (as Jack throws the ball against the Overlook's walls and looks down upon the model of the hedgemaze). It plays again when Danny first discovers room 237, attempts to open the locked door then "shines" the twins. The final occurence is when Danny goes to his room to get his firetruck and discovers Jack, sitting awake on his bed. The latter is especially interesting due to the fact that the entire scene seems to be built around the music, even though the music was chosen after filming. Accents Danny's question to Jack: "You would never hurt me or mommy would you?" One small cut was made to the music to bring it forward to the final chord, and several cuts and extensions were made to the film in order to 'fit' the music.
05 - Krzysztof Penderecki � Utrenja (Ewangelia) (3:32)
Performed by Narodowa Orkiestra Symfoniczna Polskiego Radia w Katowicach
Conducted by Krzysztof Penderecki
Composed in 1969-70. This excerpt of "Utrenja" (Morning Prayer) was used several times. The first occurs when Wendy hits Jack with the baseball bat. It is also used when Jack plunges the ax into Halloran's chest. Used again with Wendy's scream as she sees "Redrum" written in the mirror and when she sees Halloran's lifeless body. Also plays as she witnesses the various "ghosts" of the Overlook coming to life. This piece is also layered with the "Kanon Paschy" movement of "Utrenja" as Jack chases Danny through the maze. This and the following piece are based on the entombment & resurrection of Christ.
06 - Krzysztof Penderecki � Utrenja (Kanon Paschy) (0:59)
Performed by Narodowa Orkiestra Symfoniczna Polskiego Radia w Katowicach
Conducted by Krzysztof Penderecki
Composed in 1969-70. This was the main music used when Jack axes the door and while he chases Danny through the maze. Also used to punctuate events; when Wendy hits Jack with the baseball bat, Jack exclaiming "Here's Johnny!" and as Wendy witnesses the blood flowing from the elevator.
07 - Krzysztof Penderecki - The Awakening of Jacob (8:24)
Composed in 1974. First plays at the film's beginning when Danny talks to Tony in the bathroom before 'blacking out.' Used, very appropriately, as Jack awakens from his bad dream while at his desk. Also plays during Danny's dream sequences and when Jack enters room 237.
08 - Krzysztof Penderecki - De Natura Sonoris No. 1 (On the Nature of Sound) (5:09)
Performed by Narodowa Orkiestra Symfoniczna Polskiego Radia w Katowicach
Conducted by Krzysztof Penderecki
Written in 1966. Plays as Danny rides his bigwheel, turns the corner and sees the twins. Also plays when Wendy discovers that Jack has sabotaged the Snowcat. This piece plays in the final scene as we see Jack frozen in the maze.
09 - Krzysztof Penderecki - De Natura Sonoris No. 2 (On the Nature of Sound) (8:41)
Performed by Narodowa Orkiestra Symfoniczna Polskiego Radia w Katowicach
Conducted by Krzysztof Penderecki
Written in 1971. Plays as Jack storms off to the ballroom, swinging his arms in anger. Punctuates Jack's flipping on the ballroom lights. Also is heard as Danny writes "Redrum" in lipstick on the mirror & as Halloran drives the Snowcat to the Overlook. This piece is also overlaid when Danny is reunited with Wendy after escaping from the maze.
10 - Krzysztof Penderecki - Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima (8:39)
Performed by National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra.
Conducted by Antoni Wit
11 - Krzysztof Penderecki - Polymorphia (8:18)
Performed by Narodowa Orkiestra Symfoniczna Polskiego Radia w Katowicach
Conducted by Krzysztof Penderecki
Composed in 1961. Plays as Wendy discovers Jack's "All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy" writings & when Wendy drags Jack into the storeroom. Also plays later when Jack, while locked in the storeroom, tells Wendy to go check the snowcat & the radio.
12 - Henry Hall & the Gleneagles Hotel Band - Home (When Shadows Fall) (3:14)
Written by Peter Van Steeden, Jeff Clarkson and Harry Clarkson
Recorded circa late 1920's-early 1930's. Plays as Jack and Delbert Grady are talking in the ballroom's bathroom. Another tune with a hidden meaning. In the hotel, Jack is "Home." This piece was used on the soundtrack LP instead of "Midnight, the Stars and You" or "It's All Forgotten Now" due to time restrictions.
13 - Ray Noble Orchestra with Al Bowlly - It's All Forgotten Now (3:19)
Recorded in 1932. Plays after "Midnight, the Stars & You" in the ballroom scene(as Jack talks with Grady in the bathroom). Song has a double meaning in the fact that Jack does not remember(per Grady's assertion) that he has always been at the Overlook.
14 - Jack Hylton and His Orchestra - Masquerade (3:12)
Music by John Jacob Loeb
Lyrics by Paul Francis Webster
Plays faintly in background as Jack storms out of the kitchen service corridor, walks through the hall and sees the balloons outside the Gold Ballroom.
