"Suspense" - an excerpt from the 1913 silent film with added "chase music"

The added music is "Dance of the Furies" from Orfeo and Euridice by Christoph Willibald Gluck. It's an orchestral piece. However, here it was likely performed on a synthesizer. I am very grateful to two YouTube contributors; namely, Do_re_me J_em_ennui and Ethan Ballard, for furnishing the names of the piece and its composer.

I first heard this music during the early days of television in the soundtracks of some "B" western films from the 1930's and 1940's. Most of these "horse operas" were made on low budgets; so, the producers generally did not use original music. Instead, they "borrowed" from recordings of public-domain classical compositions. This lively piece would always accompany an action scene--a fight, or toward the end of the film, when the posse was rounded up and chased the bad guys (who were always caught).
