Thread: Classical music in haunts

Tweet

Do any of you guys have classical music (Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Chopin, ect.) playing in a scene at your haunt? I know Moonlight Sonata or Fugue are two tried and true classics, but have any of you guys used this music for a certain scene, like a grand ballroom or an outdoor party?

Angelo Badalamenti -- Rose's Theme..

Its a good classical song for a theme in a haunted house

Mozart Requiem or Beethoven Moonlight Sonata

Here's what I was going to do, music wise:

Outside, in the garden party area of the mansion: Four Seasons-Spring by Antonio Vivaldi and A Little Night Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Inside: Moonlight Sonata (Near the piano)-Beethoven

Ya thats sounds like good choices.. Rose theme would also work good in the garden party area... I use the more darker side of classical music alot from Mozart like (don giovanni)

Mussorgsky - A Night on Bald Mountain ... you are probably familiar with this thanks to "Fantasia". Pretty spooky for the first few minutes anyway.

Funeral March - you can spooky it up even more with Audacity or Goldwave. Slow it down, put in echo, reverb whatever.

I think that the type of 'classical' music Midnight Syndicate and Nox Arcana perform could work just as well as that of the composers of yore, if you haven't considered them. For the area near the piano, I'd suggest Midnight Syndicate's Born of the Night, Soliloquy, or Spectral Masquerade, or Nox Arcana's The Forgotten, Veil of Darkness, or Widow's Harbor; these are only a few suggestions, as they have many, many others that would be equally fitting. I figured that I'd add some other, more 'contemporary' possibilities to the list, just in case.

I agree that those 2 groups are excellent, but they are not what the author of this post was asking for. He specifically mentioned composers of "yore".
