Halloween playlist, progressively more abstract version

Dvorak: The Golden Spinning Wheel
Girl dismembered by her stepmother.

Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique
Witches congregate, raise ruckus with the Dies Irae.

Rachmaninoff: Isle of the Dead
Creepier use of 5/8 time signature?

Bolcom: Graceful Ghost Rag
To cut the scary stuff.

Mussorgsky: Night on Bald Mountain
In the original version, or the wind band one I joined several IU music students in slaughtering.

Shostakovich: Symphony No. 15
Bones sufficiently chilled by the end.

Shostakovich: Symphony No. 14
Because you can't have enough of a good thing.

George Benjamin: Three Inventions
Scary bass drums at the end nearly as terrifying as

Webern: Six Pieces for Orchestra, movement four
Pinned to your seat, with great vehemence.

Kurtág: Scenes from a Novel
A soprano, a cimbalom, a violin and a double-bass stop time, morbidly.
