Halloween Mood Music
Want some spooky background music for the German classroom or a Halloween party? Consider some German classical music, electronic music by the German groups Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, or the new-age sounds of Berlin-born Klaus Schulze (once a member of Tangerine Dream). Some examples: J.S. Bach: Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, Prelude and Fugue in C Minor, Fantasia and Fugue in G Minor, Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor, Prelude and Fugue in E Minor "Night Watch" or "Cathedral"; Mozart: Fantasia in F Minor; Leon Boellmann: Toccata (Suite Gothique). Tangerine Dream: Rubycon, Phaedra, other early albums. Klaus Schulze: Totem (Picture Music album), Timewind, Moogtique (Body Love 2), Black Dance, Hitchcock Suite (Jubilee Edition). See Bewitched Music by Eric Mystic for more ideas.
St. Martin’s Day
The German celebration of St. Martin's Day (Martinstag, Nov. 11) has some similarities to Halloween. Both celebrations are aimed primarily at children. The celebration involves bonfires and children carrying their colorful "St. Martin's lanterns" in a St. Martin's procession. Here's a children's song for Martinstag:
| Ich geh mit meiner Laterne | I go with my lantern |
| Ich geh' mit meiner Laterne | I go with my lantern |
| Und meine Laterne mit mir. | And my lantern goes with me. |
| Dort oben leuchten die Sterne, | Up above the stars are shining, |
| Hier unten, da leuchten wir. | Down here we're shining. |
| Mein Licht ist aus, | My light is out, |
| Wir geh'n nach Haus, | We're going home, |
| Rabimmel, rabammel, rabum. | Rabimmel, rabammel, rabum. |
