Modest Mussorgsky - A Night on the Bare Mountain

5. Modest Mussorgsky - A Night on the Bare Mountain

The most famous use of Mussorgky's masterpiece is in the final sequence of Disney’s Fantasia which stars a devil called Chernabog who uses his powers to raise all sorts of ghosts, monsters, and demons all through the night. The version heard in the film is actually Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov's popular version of the piece, completed a few years after Mussorgky's death.
