Thanks for that, Joy. My local symphony orchestra had a Halloween concert the other day which featured Liszt's Totentanz and Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique.

I still can't get that dreaded "dies irae" theme out of my head =)

Just listened to the Berlioz symphony yesterday. One of my favorites. Wasn't Berlioz supposed to have been in some kind of drug induced state when he wrote this?

Yes, Berlioz himself. I had forgotten and confess I'm not very familiar with the background of the work.

Trick or treat, mister? Give us yer money or we'll burn yer house down! (You gotta love these little kids...). Offspring of gangsters, no doubt.....

Hi Joy,

I have all of these on a classical "Halloween" CD called Fright Night, and love them all!

Thanks, JOY! That was a wonderful program with lots of good music! It did air on my local PBS station so I was able to hear it!

Also listened to various works from the movies by composers of suspense films and such. Good music last night!

So glad you enJOYed it! I listened to parts of it myself (really enjoyed Bach's Toccata and Fugue) but then had to hand out some goodies to the kiddies in the neighbourhood! Fun evening!
