Product Description

This programmatic piece is based on Edgar Allen Poes

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 realization that they cannot

escape the Red Death.
