Another light music classic: “The Haunted Ballroom” by Geoffrey Toye.
The waltz is taken from a one-act ballet, inspired by a story of Edgar Allan Poe, about a family curse, and the deaths of its members as they are compelled to dance with ghostly partners.
The piece was first performed by the Vic-Wells Ballet at Sadler’s Wells Theatre in 1934.
