Funeral March of a Marionette

Charles Gounod

Listen to this piece and you’ll instantly recognize it as Alfred Hitchcock Presents' theme. However, it is also a great piece for Halloween because of its subject matter (a funeral) and and it’s oddly a catchy and creepy melody. The storyline that the piece follows is that a puppet has died in a duel, the funeral procession begins, and then, during the central section, mourners take refreshments before returning to the march.
