Track descriptions -

1. Winter : a desolate winter graveyard with a passing snowstorm.

3. Train des lutins : pixies and elves steal a steam train and collect a witch en route.
4. Snow cemetery : a cemetery in the snow, with a blizzard and skulls.
5. Halloween : a spooky improvisation with graveyards, a funeral procession, storms, skulls, zombies, demons, the Devil, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse as the world self-immolates.
6. Remorse and melancholy : a contemplation of regret and angst set to the backdrop of a Caspar David Friedrich painting.
7, 8, 9, 10. Sonata in four movements : passing from a country idyll through the gloom and mist of a funeral procession to a a violent storm, ghost ships and spectres, concluding with various spooky warrior creatures marching to Hell and ultimately the Apocalypse.
11. Dies Irae - Epilogue : eternal oblivion and the Apocalypse.

Enjoy (or otherwise!)

Very good! I'm always astonished that people can improvise these sorts of things

Thanks, improvisation has kept me occupied for a while of late. I'd dearly like to have done this project under better circumstances but some of the material I'm pretty proud of.
