Written especially for your next Halloween concert, this medley features two great, spooky classical themes and a modern classic, including "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor," "A Night on Bald Mountain," and Michael Jackson's "Thriller." There is the option to start at three different places should time be a concern: the beginning, measure 28, or measure 63. When performing "Thriller," you may take the optional jump at measure 109 to the "Rap Vamp" and let a guest narrator thrill your audience with the spoken part made famous by Sir Vincent Price. Once the rap is completed, jump back to measure 110 and end at the Fine. If the rap section is not desired, simply play the arrangement straight through as written. (3:55)
