I really oughta know this…

[The trailer for Tim Burton’s upcoming movie “The Corpse Bride”](http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/corpse_bride/) features a rather famous classical piece, but I’m drawing a blank on the name/composer.

Someone here knows, I’m sure.

…and the worst part is, I was just listening to a MIDI of that the other night. It wasn’t exactly high-quality, but still…

Thanks.
