We have finished another Halloween concert at the University of Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The selection of music wasn't quite on my list of the "Top 100 Scary (but interesting) Favorite Halloween Pieces", but Malcolm Arnold's Tam O'Shanter Overture certainly had enough work to pacify me. I've also surrendered to the beginning of the Infernal Dance from Stravinsky's Firebird suite and I swear to never question the logic of (1) using mutes on the "A" in the opening measures, and (2) playing the accented flams on a separate drum.
If you'd like to take a listen, the recordings are here.
