3564 - Things That Go Bump In The Night in Music (Judith Costello)
Course Description
Instructor: Judith Costello
October is the spookiest month, and Judith Costello has four weeks of music to scare you into pleasant frissons of horror. Join her for music about witches, sorcerers, ghosts, and dancing skeletons to put you in the most alarmed frame of mind for Hallowe'en.
The music includes selections ranging from Gilbert & Sullivan operettas to orchestral works by Berlioz and Humperdinck, film scores from "The Witches of Eastwick" and "Bell, Book and Candle," and an especially macabre rendition of Schubert's terrifying "Der Erlkönig."
Do join us . . . if you dare. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
