Time to start getting ready for a Very Special Halloween Rehearsal.
What would be really nice would be to write some lyrics to this piece by Saint-Saens, which 150 years later is still the best Halloween piece ever (and if you abridge it would take less rehearsal to throw together than Thriller). Saint-Saens was a royal bore when he was trying to be serious, but when he was in a lighter mood he was one of the most entertaining composers in history (think Carnival of the Animals). But much as I'd love to, writing lyrics to this would be a colossal waste of time:). Still, nice movie and amazing sound for an orchestral recording from 1924 (from the Philadelphia Orchestra and Leopold Stokowski).
