string quartet (2vln, va, vc)

Music for the 1931 horror film classic Dracula by Tod Browning starring Béla Lugosi.

The film is considered a classic. I felt the score needed to evoke the feeling of the world of the 19th century — for that reason I decided a string quartet would be the most evocative and effective. I wanted to stay away from the obvious effects associated with horror films. With Kronos we were able to add depth to the emotional layers of the film.
— Philip Glass

Suite from “Dracula” is a 28 minute arrangement by Michael Riesman for piano and strings.
