Morton Gould's Fall River Legend is a ballet about an accused murderess who, though never convicted, remained infamous for the rest of her life. What was her name? (Hint -- the numbers "40" and "41" figure prominently in a macabre rhyme about the crime.)

The answer and more interesting facts -- along with some great performances of spooky scores in anticipation of Halloween -- will be revealed in the next installment of the Radio Kansas series "Classical Connections." "Creepy Classics" airs from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday. But if you're just dying for the answer, to to www.radiokansas.org and enter your name in a prize drawing by taking a stab at an additional question.

"You don't have to wait for night to fall to get in the Halloween spirit this Oct. 31st," said Music Director Mark Simmons, who is producing each program in the series. "Radio Kansas will offer four hours of musical tricks and treats with 'Creepy Classics. We'll run the gamut from the fun with the 'Funeral March of a Marionette' and 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice,' to the eerie with Rachmaninoff's 'The Isle of the Dead' and Mozart's 'Dies Irae.' Along the way we'll hear a ballet about a famous axe murderer and enjoy three famous dances: Mephisto, Macabre, and Totentanz. Listen for thrills and chills from the likes of Bach, Liszt, Schubert, Moussorgsky, Saint-Saens, Brahms and Chopin, just to name a few. It's the perfect background music for making your costume, sorting your candy or decorating for the night's festivities."
