A friend has asked me what is the source of this Halloween-type musical phrase. Variations are used to cue a spooky mood in countless songs and films, here's just one example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKI1YeKv6Jc The article linked to below points to two possible sources - the silent movie composer John Stepan Zamecnik, and the *Remick Folio of Moving Picture Music vol. I*, published March 24, 1914, by Jerome H. Remick & Co., New York and Detroit and compiled and edited by J. Bodewalt Lampe. http://soundandthefoley.com/2013/04/04/villains-theme/ I'd like to see the sheet music from the folio. Is there a prior source in classical music, or a recording from the early 20th Century? Thanks
