1. Edvard Grieg - In The Hall Of The Mountain King
Grieg's masterpiece of tension-building was supposed to evoke a cave full of trolls, gnomes and goblins. Grieg himself wasn't a huge fan, though: "For the Hall of the Mountain King I have written something that so reeks of cowpats, ultra-Norwegianism, and 'to-thyself-be-enough-ness' that I can't bear to hear it, though I hope that the irony will make itself felt."

3. John Williams - Jaws
It doesn't seem logical that just two notes could cause such a sense of foreboding, but John Williams managed it. His soundtrack to Spielberg's Jaws has been keeping people out of the sea since 1975.

Thank you sis. Grieg's In The Hall of The Mountain King takdelah rasa seram. Bunyi lawak macam troll nak menganjing. Totentanz - Liszt mmg rasa semacam sejak baca pasal fmil.

4. Modest Mussorgsky - A Night on the Bare Mountain
Beginning life as a tone poem called St. John's Night on the bare Mountain, Mussorgsky's most famous work was made more famous when it was revised by Rimsky-Korsakov, and then included in the soundtrack from Disney's Fantasia. Whatever incarnation it's in, it's a frightening masterpiece.

6. Hector Berlioz - Dream of a Witches' Sabbath from Symphonie Fantastique
Berlioz uses a range of orchestral effects to create the scene of a gathering of witches - violins using the backs of their bows to create bubbling cauldron sounds, the sound of a funeral bell and outbursts of musical laughter.

Berkesempatan tengok Symphonie Fantastique tapi lupa siapa konduktornya. Persembahan simfoni yang mengambil masa lebih 40 minit. Mula2 memang rasa mengantuk. Berlioz tergolong dalam kumpulan komposer era romantik. Bila tiba 5th movement hilang rasa mengantuk tatkala dikejutkan dengan dies irae chant. Selalunya macam tu lah, klimaks bila dah final movement.
Latar belakang simfoni ini, Berlioz sedang kecanduan dapat idea tulis simfoni ini sambil merawat hati yang kecewa cinta tak berbalas dengan seorang penyanyi opera.

7. Bernard Herrmann - Psycho
So, you stop at a motel, fancy a shower and the next thing you know a madman in a wig is trying to attack you. What do you think that might sound like? Well, Bernard Herrmann knows, and he shows us in the soundtrack to Alfred Hitchcock's 'Psycho'.
