Classical Musique Macabre
Recently, I was on Itunes looking up an album called Classics From the Crypt when I found an album called The 50 Darkest Pieces of Classical Music for $5.99. Seeing this made me very happy as it was both "dark" and under six bucks (I had $6 and some change left to spend on there), so I snapped it up and have been quite pleased with my find. Among the tracks are a few of my faves, such as Carmina Burana: O Fortuna by Carl Orff, Sonata No. 2 in B-Flat Minor for Piano, Op. 35: III. Marche funébre (Funeral March): Lento by Frederic Chopin, and The Valkyrie: Ride of the Valkyries by Richard Wagner and many others from several different composers like Mozart, Beethoven, Handel and Vivaldi. For even more, Amazon has The 99 Darkest Pieces Of Classical Music and I plan on adding the ones I didn't get from here when I can. Another album Amazon recommends is The Most Frightening Music in the Universe which also seems pretty good, then there's 99 Must Have Halloween Classics and The Darkest Classical Piano Pieces. All these albums are perfect for this time of year, and if you're into the darker side of classical like I am, I highly reccomend adding them to your collection!
