Regular price
$6.00
In this eerie and playful composition, the skeletons come to life and march through a surreal landscape of sound. The entire piece is built from two transpositions of the whole tone scale, creating a mysterious, floating atmosphere without tonal center.
The pedal line, moving relentlessly in tritones, gives the impression of a strange, limping march, while the manual parts dance above in shimmering augmented harmonies. Together they form a musical world that is both humorous and haunting — perfect for Halloween or any time you want to explore the fantastic side of the organ’s power.
