Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1853) is one of the most fun of XXth century composers and the creators of many musical memes (Peter & the wolf, The Love for Three Oranges).

Dance of the Knights is found in Romeo and Juliet, a ballet by Prokofiev based on William Shakespeare‘s play of the same name. Composed in 1935. Also known as Montagues and Capulets.

You can hear Dance of the Knight in countless films, TV shows and video games including American Beauty, American Psycho, The Shining, The Exorcist, Dr. No and A Clockwork Orange.
