Musical Titles That Are Spot On...

So I'm listening to Charles Gounod's "Funeral March For A Marionette," and I'm surprised at how much more creepy the music is when one considers the title. I'd heard the opening lines for years in Warner Brothers cartoons and as the theme of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," and never gave it two thoughts. But, when you actually imagine what the title conjures up in your brain it's pretty damn scary or, at least, unnerving. In fact, I think it's slightly more eerie than "Danse Macabre." This is one of those rare times (in my opinion) where the composer perfectly married the title with the music.

Not much else to talk about tonight. I think I'm going to read until I fall asleep. Just wanted to keep the (writing) hand in.
