Description:
This familiar sneaky theme was originally composed for solo piano by French composer Charles Gounod in 1872, as a bit of joke about a particular music critic. The mysterious and foreboding motif has since been used in film and TV, most notably as the theme for the show "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." This string orchestra arrangement skillfully weaves the ominous melody into all sections, retaining the original D minor key with the traditional change to the parallel D major in the middle. Players will experience various accidentals in 6/8 meter, with minimal shifting in first violin and cello. With the ghostly whimsy of a danse macabre, this scary classic is perfect for your fall or Halloween concert! Key: D minor, D major
