This is a new printing of the original edition on sturdy, acid-free paper. 40 pages. This
organ duet (four hands)
is an arrangement of the most famous spooky melody of all. The program is that the Keeper of Death appears at midnight each year
on Halloween. He summons the dead from their graves to dance for him while he plays. The skeletons of the animated dead dance for
him until the rooster crows at dawn, at which time they return to their graves until the next year. This is a great encore for a concert.
Highest quality guaranteed.
Size of music is
9.5" x 12.5". $15.00.
Clarence Dickinson (1873-1969) and
Charlotte Mathewson Lockwood Garden (1903–1961) attended
Northwestern University and studied with Guilmant, Widor, and Vierne. He served as organist/choirmaster of Brick Presbyterian
Church, New York City and as Director of the School of Sacred Music at Union Theological Seminary. He was a
founder of the American Guild of Organists. Charlotte Lockwood was a student
of Widor and Dickinson. She received degrees from Salem College and Union Theological Seminary. She was
organist-director of Crescent Avenue Presbyterian Church, Plainfield, New Jersey, organist of West End Synagogue, New York City,
and on the faculty of Union. Interesting to me, she worked in churches in Reidsville and Greensboro, North Carolina. Moderate.
