Program Notes

Written as either a fun or serious piece, this work (according to the arranger "by a plethora of guys, all dead") incorporates several well-known classical melodies associated with the macabre and creepy. For a more serious program, Pieces Macabre is offered as an alternate title. Included are themes from Toccata and Fugue in D minor; Night on Bald Mountain; Funeral March of a Marionette and In the Hall of the Mountain King. It's definitely spooktacular!
