And then there's Mussorgsky, whose name in Russian is interesting to say the least, not unlike his music.

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.
Memories from 1981 (approx.)
Thanks for posting! 🙂
 
I believe I may have posted a cut from this LP of West Coast cool jazz, some time ago. Here's the whole thing:
Bought that one when I was 16 or 17. Played the heck out of it -- wishing I could be as cool on the tenor sax.
 
Just listen to it and don't watch the conductor making faces

Don'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". 👿
 
I've always liked Carmina Burana...the whole thing
