Black Magic in Classical Music

Often overlooked, the gothic world of black magic is among the most interesting motifs in the music of Romantic and Late Romantic composers. And it results in terrific compositions full of spellbinding moments. Ready to get lost in the spell? Magic bullets, love potions, witchcraft, and all sorts of other inspirations from darker branches of the phantasmagoric can be found in works by Berlioz, Dukas, Dvořák, Mussorgsky, and more.
