| Help, DU! What is the name of the symphony that uses the guillotine |
|
(specifically, the sound of it coming down) as part of the piece? I can't find it!

| 2. Hector Berlioz - Symphonie Fantastique. |
|
Specifically, the movement titled the March to the Scaffold, where the artist believes that he has murdered his beloved, and note the refererence to the 'Dies Ire' being first introduced by bells, then burlesqued by brass... the head rolling into the basket is represented by a pizz cello arpeggio. 'bump, bump, bump' then a final fanfare as the head is displayed to the crowd.

| 5. Oh yeah... the pathos... |

At the very end, just before the blade drops, we get to hear the idee fixee (the musical emblem of his beloved) at the very end of our hero.
