Night on Bald Mountain
Modest Mussorgsky's composition "Night on Bald Mountain" was originally titled "St. John’s Night on the Bare Mountain". The first version appeared in 1867 and was revised around 1872 and again in 1880. In this last version he added a hauntingly beautiful quiet ending; in which a church bell announces the dawn, and daybreak chases away the evil spirit. "Night on Bald Mountain" has remained an audience favorite ever since its appearance in Walt Disney’s landmark movie, "Fantasia".
