Amen to Zombie: Sept 11, 2009
A true innovator
ZOMBIE
So I’m about to dig into the first of four CDs that I bought in Dayton. We’ll be starting with:
Creepy Classics: A Mysteriously Moving Collection of Haunting Classical Masterpieces
I’d be willing to bet that Halloween alliteration started with Vincent Price. This is not a collection of creaking doors and bubbling cauldrons, but a half an hour’s worth of orchestral music that has some scary history or demonic theme running through it. For the most part.
Here’s a track listing, I have added the original composer’s names:
1. “Night on Bald Mountain,” Modest Mussorgsky
2. “Danse Macabre,” Camille Saint-Saëns
3. “March Funebre Des Marionettes,” Charles Gounod
4. “March of the Gallows,” Hector Berloiz
5. “In the Hall of the Mountain King,” Edvard Grieg
