Night on Bald Mountain was one of our favorites to play back in my high school band days. We played it on stage in the school's theater. We also played a version on the football field during halftime (marching band!). I think I was playing the bass drum at the time.And then there's Mussorgsky, whose name in Russian is interesting to say the least, not unlike his music.
Kubrick's 2001? ('Cause if it's not it sure sounds like it😬)Still one of my favorite classical pieces and from one of my favorite movies too. I always thought it was creepy
Yup! I also use it on my Halloween playlist I play outside when the Trick or Treater's comeKubrick's 2001? ('Cause if it's not it sure sounds like it😬)
I've always liked Carmina Burana...the whole thingDon't forget this one, which, despite all evidence to the contrary, people have for decades insisted was used in the Omen films:
I did use it for the opening titles of "Metropolis", when a couple of friends who owned a theater needed a soundtrack, back when distribution companies sent silent movies without one.
For the next section, I used part of this, which, considering I wasn't able to see the film again before assembling the music, ended up having some serendipitous synchronization. If you want to really freak the kiddies out, add it to your "playlist". 👿
Seiji Ozawa is a legend, a musical Midas.Then here's another selection from that Ozawa recording.
And a concert performance of "In the Tavern":
