This title is taken from the compilation French Songs And Choruses For Mixed-Voice Choir (NOV165198)Hector Berlioz' Le Ballet Des Ombres written for SATB. Withdrawn by the composer within six months of publication in 1829. Berlioz in fact went to some trouble to suppress the work rounding up and destroying all copies he could find. So successful was he that only one copy of the Ballet des ombres in a private collection was known to have survived at the beginning of the twentieth century and that is now lost. Our sole source for the work is its inclusion in Malherbe and Weingartner's badly flawed edition of Berlioz's works publishedby Breitkopf and Härtel in the opening years of the twentieth century.

Full Score-Commissioned by Eleanor Weingartner and Miguel Salazar Stocks double concerto is in three movements with contrasting moods. Duration ca. 12
