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.
