American composer, Fidelis Zitterbart's "Suite Fantastique in E Minor: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," inspired by Washington Irving's short story, was originally composed for a chamber ensemble of two violins, viola, flute, and piano. The final movement of the work, "The Headless Rider," depicts the spectral figure who roams the night on horseback, searching for something lost and seeking revenge. The music conveys a sense of urgency and intensity, as if the Headless Rider is on a relentless quest through the darkness. This arrangement for string orchestra features a relentless, driving ostinato figure by the violas, making it an ideal selection for an orchestra with a strong viola section for a Halloween-themed concert. Score and Parts. Duration: Approx. 4 minutes.
