Frightful Classics

For Halloween, I thought I'd share a few of my favorite scary classical pieces. Find them on a CD at the library, in Classical Music Library (a library database), or follow the links.

• In the Hall of the Mountain King (Grieg, from Peer Gynt)
• Funeral March for a Marionette (Gounod, used as the Alfred Hitchcock theme)
• Sorcerer's Apprentice (Dukas, featured in Disney's Fantasia)
• Danse Macabre (Saint Saens)
• Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (Bach)
• Night on Bald Mountain (Mussorgsky, featured in Disney's Fantasia)

Enjoy!
