The idea is to take an abstract title and write music which ex presses that title. This school of composition is called “expression ism,” but only the experts know what it expresses. At any rate, the record is wierd and fantas tic, like something one would expect a ghoul to compose, while digging up a grave in a deserted churchyard at midnight ort Hal lowe’en.
