Based on the Dies Irae, this expressive piece would be good for a musical student, or to play on a Halloween recital. The Dies Irae is a famous chant melody from the requiem mass (mass for the dead). It has been widely used in music, especially during the Romantic period by composers including Franz Liszt, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Hector Berlioz. Film composer Danny Elfman used it in his score for The Nightmare before Christmas.
