FRIDAY NIGHT IS MUSIC NIGHT - Modest Mussorgsky: "Night on Bald Mountain"

Time for a bit of deliciously dark music. This is Ночь на лысой горе (Noch' na lysoy gore) or A Night on the Bare Mountain, by Modest Mussorgsky. It has also been translated as Night on Bald Mountain. It is famously known for the version orchestrated by Leopold Stokowski, which was utilised in the 1940 Disney film Fantasia. A suitably dark piece of music to celebrate my forthcoming 30th birthday.
