Danse Macabre, or Dance of Death, is one of the most famous works by Camille Saint-Saëns. The composition is based on the poem of the same name by Henri Cazalis (1840-1909).The dance of death is musically represented with various effects, starting with twelve strokes of the clock - which of course suggest midnight. Then dissonant sounds and a somewhat wistful waltz melody follow. A thematic build-up full of tempo changes leads to an intense majestuoso, which ends abruptly, after which a melancholy farewell melody takes over. This wonderful symphonic poem appeals to everyoneâ??s imagination - as it will in this expert arrangement for accordion orchestra.Danse Macabre is een van de beroemdste werken van Camille Saint-Saëns. Deze dodendansâ?? begint met twaalf middernachtelijke klokslagen. Vervolgens begint een weemoedige walsmelodie in een verminderde kwint. Via een thematische opbouwmet tempowisselingen bereikt het werk een majestuoso. Dit eindigt abrupt en wordt overgenomen door een melancholische melodie. Danse Macabre is een prachtig symfonisch gedicht in een vakkundig arrangement voor accordeonorkestDanse Macabre ist eines der beru?hmtesten Werke von Camille Saint-Saëns. In dieser Bearbeitung wird der Totentanzâ?? mit verschiedenen Effekten musikalisch wiedergegeben - beginnend mit zwölf Glockenschlägen, die natu?rlich Mitternacht andeuten. Dann schlieÃ?en sich dissonante Klänge und eine etwas wehmu?tige Walzermelodie an. Ein thematischer Aufbau voller Tempowechsel fu?hrt zu einem intensiven Maestoso, das abrupt endet, woraufhin eine melancholische Melodie u?bernimmt. Das wundervolle sinfonische Tongedicht - und auch diese fachkundige Bearbeitung fu?r Akkordeonorchester - beflu?geln jedermanns Fantasie.La Danse macabre (1874) est une des ?uvres les plus célèbres de Camille Saint-Saëns. Minuit sonne. Satan va conduire le bal. La Mort paraît et la ronde commence, presque furtivement au début, sâ??anime, semble sâ??apaiser et repart avec une rage accrue qui ne cessera quâ??au crépuscule matinal. Le sabbat se dissout avec le lever du jour. Cet arrangement élégant pour Orchestre dâ??Accordéons est fidèle la version originale.

Saint-Saëns was a great admirer of the symphonic poems by Franz Liszt. His own symphonic poem “Danse macabre†reflects not only his affinity to medieval superstitions but also constitutes a tribute to Liszt’s “Totentanzâ€.“Danse macabre†is based on the eponymous song Saint-Saëns composed in 1872 after Henri Cazalis’ poem. At its premiere, the work was not well-received; in fact it was booed, possibly due to the “diabolic†solo violin playing on an E-string that was tuned down to E-flat, which the audience might have misinterpreted as being out of tune. However within ten years the work had become so popular that Saint-Saëns quoted some of its musical themes in “The Carnival of the Animalsâ€. Since the composer’s death, “Danse macabre†is among the works most often mentioned in connection with the theatrical face of death found in popular mortuary cult.

Danse Macabre started life in 1874 as a tone poem scored for violin and orchestra which vividly describes a poem by Henri Cazalis. As the clock strikes midnight, the cloaked figure of Death appears and calls on the skeletons to dance to the waltz he plays on his violin. The E string is tuned a semitone lower to create a diminished fifth, the dissonant interval referred to as the devil in music during the Middle Ages. The dance builds and builds but eventually, as the cock crows, heralding the approaching dawn, the skeletons vanish back into their graves, and death departs.This arrangement for violin and piano was made by Saint-Saëns himself in 1877.Grade 8Former Spartan Press Cat.

Ryan Fraley's arrangement of Camille Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre transforms the iconic nineteenth-century supernatural tone poem into a dynamic 1930s hot-jazz piece reminiscent of Django Reinhardt's swing style. The work brings the haunting themes to life, set against compelling backbeats. It features skillfully written solos for plunger trumpet and trombone, an open solo section for improvisation (transcribed solos provided), and a sizzling sax soli, inviting musicians to delve into a fusion of classical sophistication and the exuberant spirit of early jazz.

Fiendish: devilish: wicked.Danse Diabolique is a moody piece. It is meant to evoke images of a moonlit Halloween night, alive with fiendish creatures engaged in a demonic dance. Inspired by the work of French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, this piece is best characterized by the expressive marking, sinister.The melody of this 6/8 piece is played in a smooth, legato style in contrast to the crisp pizzicato accompaniment. Care should be taken never to rush the pizzicato passages. Dynamics should be emphasized throughout, and sixteenth notes should be played off the string, with accuracy, in a spiccato style.
