Rhapsodies

First I know that Swan Lake is not Halloween music in any way shape or form. But it is so hauntingly effective as the opening for Dracula that I definitely had to include it.

It’s funny how one’s memory plays tricks on you. For some reason I had remembered the opening as a violin solo and wasted quite a bit of time trying to find a version of Swan Lake that was a solo. I finally discovered that Dracula used the original version.

So here it is. One of my favorite pieces by Tchaikovsky, Swan Lake.
