Waltzes from a Narrow House

Inspired by the music of a ghost show on TV, the composer borrowed a fragment of the chord progression he heard and used it as the basis to create this composition. Techniques that give the work interest and vitality include inversion, retrograde, counterpoint, and harmonic pandiatonicism reminiscent of Stravinsky. And yes, the title refers to caskets, so this will be a perfectly ghoulish addition to a Halloween concert.
