Hallowe'en into All Saints' Day

[matrixrefugee]

I've always loved how Walt Disney paired these two so vastly different pieces of classical music: Modest Moussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain", with it's sound painting of a hellish bacchanal, with Franz Schubert's "Ave Maria", with it's touching religious sentiment. Perfect for these two so differing feast days...

Hee. I find it kinda funny that it features Walpurgis Night but everybody associates it with Halloween ~

Yeah, I suspect it's probably an American slant to it (plus the local classical radio station was playing it about three times a day three days before Hallowe'en. Very odd...)
