Danse Macabre CAMILLE SAINT-SAËNS (1835–1921) Arranged by MICHAEL STORY (ASCAP) Grade 2 PROGRAM NOTES Danse Macabre is 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. The piece has been used extensively as background and theme music, but is probably most widely known as a favorite tune around Halloween. NOTES TO THE CONDUCTOR The tempo marking of this arrangement is q = 152; however, as your ensemble gains proficiency on the piece, you may gradually increase the tempo, eventually conducting in “1.” I hope you and your ensemble find Danse Macabre to be a rewarding experience!
