Words and music by Rod Temperton, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Modest Mussorgsky Arranged by Ralph Ford
NOTES TO THE CONDUCTOR
Written especially for your next Halloween concert, this medley features two great, spooky classical themes and a modern “classic.” There is the option to start at three different places should time be a concern: the beginning, m. 28, or m. 63. When performing “Thriller,” you may take the optional jump at m. 109 to the ‘Rap Vamp’ and let a guest narrator ‘thrill’ your audience with the spoken part made famous by Sir Vincent Price. Once the rap is completed, jump back to m. 110 and end at the Fine. If the rap section is not desired, simply play the arrangement straight through as written.
The Rap, as spoken by Sir Vincent Price
Darkness falls across the land, The midnight hour is close at hand, Creatures crawl in search of blood, To terrorize y'awl's neighborhood.
And whosoever shall be found, Without the Soul for getting down,
Must stand and face the hounds of hell, And rot inside a corpse's shell.
The foulest stench is in the air, The funk of forty thousand years,
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb, Are closing in to seal your doom.
And though you fight to stay alive, Your body starts to shiver,
For no mere mortal can resist, The evil of a thriller.
