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 accordeonorkest

Danse 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.

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. Top trumpet note: F-sharp 5.

This work was originally scored as a tone poem that was written in 1874 by well-known French composer Camille Saint-Saëns. The basis of the piece is an old French superstition where at the stroke of midnight on Halloween, Death appears and summons the dead to dance while he plays his music for them. In a familiar 3/4, it's spooky enough for a Halloween performance and classical enough for any program or contest all year long! (3:15).
