UPC: 038081504469. English.

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).

“Haunt ed Carnival” is a fun, spooky piece that first year students will enjoy performing during the Fall season. Using just five notes, this easy piece can be included on beginning musicians' first concert and was carefully constructed to stay within the limits of their abilities while also maintaining melodic and harmonic interest. The creepy celesta part can be played an octave higher on piano, and is integral to the piece as it establishes the tempo and provides harmonies not found in the string parts. The piece is divided into three main string parts: Violin I, Violin II/Viola, and Cello/Bass. The violin II and viola parts are identical and the cello and bass parts are in octaves. Unison rhythms ensure homogenous playing between sections, building confidence in the young ensemble. Download the included accompaniment track from the publisher website.

Rhythmic energy and exciting harmonies make this fun and spooky tune an instant favorite of young string students. Without using any of the more difficult or complicated finger patterns, this original piece serves as an excellent introduction to flat key signatures. The key of G minor allows for solid intonation to be maintained because the ensemble can rely on the open G and D strings as a pitch foundation. The melody gets shared by every section of the orchestra and can be taught to all sections simultaneously. (2:40).
