Some Guy That writes Music Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Der Leiermann for me is the scariest song of the many I've listened to. I sung it in a recital last summer and it froze the audience. Truly terrifying (the audience spoke german mostly so it was quite helpful for the mood.) Sadly this isn't me singing btw incase you don't know lol. Edited April 22, 2020 by Some Guy That writes Music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanJTitchener Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) I'm going to commit heresy and say that, for me, it's the score to the Red Wedding.... Edited April 27, 2020 by DanJTitchener Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caters Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Such big chords only to become so sparse right after. Other pieces of Classical Music that are often considered scary like say Toccata and Fugue in D minor, I don't consider them scary at all. But Don Giovanni, certainly a scary piece written by a composer that often writes happy music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maqalx Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Interesting topic! For me it would probably be Saint-Saëns’ Danse Macabre. I find it haunting, especially with the dissonant violins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterthePapercomPoser Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) I think this music is also used in the movie "The Shining" (I am referring here to only the 1st movement of the multi-movement work) Edited August 17, 2020 by PaperComposer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
