You opened your eyes...
You're standing in front of an abandoned mansion...
You feel the chill night wind blowing...
You hear the sound metal gate creaking...
And a familiar music box tune starts playing...

Cliche, isn't it?
I have heard this tune for many times, mostly in mild-horror contexts
usually in advertisements and videogames; and sometimes in some non-horror contexts too [2].
I believe many people are familar with this tune. I wonder, however:
what is the name of this composition, and who composed it?
Any ideas?

in Micro$oft Zoo Tycoon videogame.
