I'm usually not much into Halloween type things, but as a classical musician, I could not help but get excited about the collection of music on this CD! It features 50 popular classical pieces that demonstrate darker music in minor keys and abstract harmonies such as Carmina Burana, Toccata and Fugue in D Minor for Organ, Main Theme from Halloween, Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (as heard in The Shining), The Rite of Spring: The Sacrifice, A Night on the Bare Mountain, Suite Gothique, Requiem Mass, The Ride of the Valkyries, Pictures at an Exhibition: The Gnome, The Goldberg Variations (as heard in The Silence of the Lambs), The Firebird Symphonic Suite, A Casket made of Cypress Wood, Masonic Funeral Music for Orchestra, Requiem Mass in D Minor, Danse Macabre, Pictures At An Exhibition (Catacombs), Don Giovanni (Don Juan), The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Halloween, Symphonie Fantastique, The Planets, Psycho - Suite for Strings: The Murder, and Totentanz (Dance of Death). There are also a few pieces that seemed out of place ... i.e. the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy ... like what's with that? Anyway, good stuff for background music at your dinner party for a small price.

Pros of this recording: There are 50 great songs that you and your guests will recognize and enjoy for a holiday meal or party. Cons: They are all performed by cover artists instead of the original artists. Well done, but if you have a favorite artist for a song, it can be frustrating. So, why am I still listing this? This was the best recording of so many cool songs in one place that along with the economical price, it is a good deal. Songs include: This Is Halloween, Thriller, Monster Mash, Theme From The Addams Family, Ghostbusters, A Nightmare On My Street, Pet Sematary, I Put A Spell On You, Theme from Psycho - Prelude / The Murder, The Time Warp, Witch Queen Of New Orleans, Little Shop Of Horrors, I'm Your Boogie Man, Theme From The Munsters, There's A Ghost In My House, They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-haaa!, Witchy Woman, Devil Went Down To Georgia, Theme From Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Theme From Halloween, Purple People Eater, Love Potion No. 9, Disco Inferno, Devil With The Blue Dress On, Black Magic Woman, Wooly Bully, Splish Splash, Rock Lobster, Somebody's Watching Me, You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch, Abracadabra, and Ghost Riders In The Sky.

It took me a long while to find something I would want to play at my Thanksgiving meal gatherings. Many "Thanksgiving Music" recordings were great songs, but were more of the classical style - which I truly enjoy, but this collection touched me with traditional hymns that remind me of why I am thankful. Music is recorded by bluegrass musician, Craig Duncan, but are done with gentleness and simplicity on quite string instruments. Songs included are: We Gather Together, Count Your Blessings, Simple Gifts, This Is My Father's World, Come Ye Thankful People, Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing, All Things Bright And Beautiful, Faith Of Our Fathers, Showers Of Blessings, A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, For The Beauty Of The Earth, How Great Thou Art, Now Thank We All Our God, and Doxology. You may listen to samples of each song to hear if it is what you have in mind for your meal.

It's always fun at holiday dinner parties to have meaningful music playing in the background or to sing along with.
