Charles Gounod
Written in E minor, range F♯3 to E5
A puppet has broken, and the other puppets carry it to its grave in a solemn little procession. Halfway there, some of the mourners stop for a snack and a drink, then hurry to catch up. Gounod wrote this story into the score in 1872; Alfred Hitchcock later used the piece as the theme of his TV show.
