Musical Interlude: Here's a nice bit of lighter classical music, a piece from a now-almost-forgotten ballet, "The Haunted Ballroom," about a family curse and loosely based on Poe. But the music itself isn't quite as Gothic as you might expect.

"The Haunted Ballroom (Concert Waltz)" by Geoffrey Toye, performed by the RTE Concert Orchestra.

Musical Interlude: One of the fun things about listening to Lumbye is that so much of his work was meant to be played at open-air concerts and dances; he did a lot of waltz, polka, and other dance tunes. We need more open-air concerts!

"Torchlight Dance," composed by Hans Christian Lumbye, performed by the Tivoli Symphony Orchestra, which he conducted for many years.

Musical Interlude: Here's a nice piece to go with that painting I just posted. A bit of light orchestral music that really carries the mood of being outside in a peaceful garden...

IN THE ELEVATOR. NOT his 1931 version. This is a slick 1950s interpretation – insane #saxophone vibrato here, and I don't necessarily mean that in a good way. Or maybe I do??
