This programmatic piece is based on Edgar Allen Poeis short story The
Masque of the Red Death. It features a group of aristocrats who have locked
themselves up in a castle to ward off the Red Death. After several months of
seclusion the Prince decides to have a party. They lavishly decorate the
seven suites, each in a different color. The seventh room was decorated black
and dominated by a very ominous clock. The attendees freely moved about 6 of
the rooms but steered clear of the clock. As the party goes on the clocks
chimes grow louder and louder as though time itself is marching through the
suites. Eventually it becomes clear they are not safe from the Red Death and
clocks chimes begin to sound out their demise. The music is in a variety of
styles, always with an undertone of the approaching Red Death. They dance and
have fun but always something seems to be amiss about their gathering. Soon
the horns sound the chimes of the clock and eventually the attendees realize
that they cannot escape the Red Death.
