A Little Suite of Horror ist eine einfache Blasorchestersuite fu¨r Jugendblasorchester in fu¨nf unterschiedlichen Sätzen. Selbstverständlich können auch weniger Sätze in einem Konzert aufgefu¨hrt werden. Die Geschichte, die hinter diesem Stu¨ck steckt, ist ein wenig makaber, wie schon die Titel der einzelnen Sätze andeuten: Freitag, der 13., Mitternachtsszene, Wurdalak, Voodoo und Halloween Party. Publikum und Musiker sollten also starke Nerven mitbringen!

A Little Suite of Horror is an easy suite for beginner bands, consisting of five contrasting movements. With this piece it is also possible to pick and choose only a few movements to showcase at a concert as well. The story behind this composition is somewhat grim and ghoulish, so prepare your musicians and audience for a nerve-wracking experience!Friday the 13th: A day unlike any other runs its mysterious course...Midnight Scene: Footsteps, creaking, and the hoot of an owl precede the twelve strokes of midnight ringing from the steeple. Suddenly, a fairy-like apparition appears in the room.Wurdalak: 'Wurdalak' is a vampiresque creature roaming about the Slavic countries. A single bite makes entire villages cower and tremble in fear. Voodoo: Performing voodoo rituals has enchanted many a human over the years. Halloween Party March: Jack-o-lanterns, skeletons, zombies, and other creepy characters march down the street. Is anyone brave enough to join this haunted parade?
