Everyone is invited to attend the events at the Westport Public Library celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of the American poet, short-story writer, editor and literary critic Edgar Allan Poe. His penchant for writing stories with supernatural and mysterious circumstances, plots and settings has given him universal recognition. Since his tales often invoke frightening scenarios, I wish to suggest some scary music to listen to while reading his works:
Bach, Johann Sebastian. Toccata and Fugue in D minor
Gounod, Charles. Funeral March of a Marionette: Alfred Hitchcock Presents
Herrmann, Bernard. Psycho: A Narrative for Orchestra
Mussorgsky, Modest. Night on Bald Mountain
Tartini, Giuseppe. Devil's Trill
Various Artists. Chiller Thriller: Movie themes & Sound Effects
Wagner, Richard. Overture to the Flying Dutchman
Williams, John. Jurassic Park
