  At Long Ridge Music Center, the faculty and staff will be dressed up and I'm very excited about that. It was all very last minute (we did costume shopping today!). We are also looking forward to our students in creative costumes!

  There are many pieces of music that's appropriate for Halloween. I have to say my most favorite is "Danse Macabre" by Saint-Saens. I would love to perform it again...
  Here's a YouTube video. I believe this is a recording of Gil Shaham. Enjoy!
 It came up in a conversation with one of my lovely students that she had just learned about this piece in her music class. You can read about the piece and the poem that the music is based on here.
 One technique that's used here to make a sound of skeletons is called col legno. Instead of the bow hair, you hit strings with the bow stick. Listen for the sound effect.
