Just the low strings and brass from the finale of "Danse Macabre".

This is just the harp part from section E of Danse Macabre (measure 205). I think the beauty of this part is often overlooked in the full piece, so I pulled it out for everyone to enjoy here.

Thematically, a small section of "Danse Macabre" - but with good motion.

Longer version of the fast-paced rockin' tune from the fictional band Glory Nugget. Oh yeah, it is bad, and that's what makes it great.

Yo, Heave Ho! The classic theme of difficult drudgery. Based on a Russian folk song.

1960s club-style jazz. This pairs well with the White Russian cocktail and a Lucky Strike. Also pretty decent for establishing shots, and anything sci-fi that has a retro party.

Just the finale from the "Danse Macabre". This is the highest energy portion of the piece in isolation.

The beginning is calm with the Middle Eastern dudek playing the melody. As the electronic elements melt into the dudek and the plucked strings, the groove is established. Just into the third minute the melody changes to beautiful and touching, but returns to the feel of the intro, while a woman?s voice sings a haunting melody in a distant language. This is music of wonder, and is best as exposition music for a film about nature or a group of people struggling to survive.

Written by Beethoven. The original source recordings for this come from MusOpen (and are available for free!). This mix is slightly augmented, and highly produced in a cinematic style.

Solo trumpet version of the 1862 military ceremonial piece.

A floor thumping modern take on the meringue. Horns, guitar, piano, and a pile of percussion.

I like the waterphone in this piece. It is a bunch of metal tubes welded together, and played with a bow. It is that creepy high-pitched thing you hear in horror movies all the time.

Electro-acoustic rendering of the famous American folk song.

This is notable in that it was the last completed piano piece Beethoven ever wrote. Thanks to the Unheard Beethoven people for their great work on uncovering these lost pieces!
