The spooky introduction to classical music for millions of children. From Disney's Fantasia, 1940. This piece was (mostly) completed by 1939. According to The Source, Leopold Stokowski conducted for free. This is the one piece in the film not recorded by Stokowski's Philadelphia Orchestra. Original score by Paul Dukas.

Recorded at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, 1978. Eugene Ormandy, conductor. A great way to kick off Classical Week at the WGOM.
