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 everyone�??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 dodendans�?? 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 Totentanz�?? mit verschiedenen Effekten musikalisch wiedergegeben - beginnend mit zwölf Glockenschlägen, die natu?rlich Mitternacht andeuten. Dann schlie�?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, s�??anime, semble s�??apaiser et repart avec une rage accrue qui ne cessera qu�??au crépuscule matinal. Le sabbat se dissout avec le lever du jour. Cet arrangement élégant pour Orchestre d�??Accordéons est fidèle la version originale.

Dance of the Crows was composed with the image of Renaissance-style dances in mind. In addition, some Danse Macabre concept started to form in my mind. I could see this melody as a part of some larger narrative in which a character attends a dance, and everything is beautiful and in sync. But when the character starts to look closer, things aren't what they seem. The dancers are actually animalistic hybrids, and the decorations are mockeries of life rather than celebrations of life. The food is inedible, and the shadows seem to have eyes. And that's why, though the melody is simple and largely on the beat, it elicits an uncomfortable and offbeat feeling.Performance Notes:The melody should have a calm almost restrained feeling until m. 17 when things should take a slightly more aggressive turn. Be sure to bring out the dynamics during the percussion break at m. 29 and the outro at m. 41. Feel free to use as many shaker-like instruments as desired in the Percussion 2 part. Use the largest possible tom-tom for the Percussion 3 part. Be sure to have the bass drum player mute all staccato notes with the hand.

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).
