Camille Saint Saens- "Danse Macabre Op. 40"

The Danse Macabre, the third of Saint-Saëns's four symphonic poems, has a title that is best left untranslated: such attempts as "Dance of Death and "Ghosts' Dance just don't work. The work must have had a very special appeal for Liszt, since he wrote several pieces in the same vein—and one with a similar title, based on the same theme. The broad waltz theme in the Danse macabre may be recognized as a variation on the Dies irae, the ancient liturgical chant for the dead, on which Liszt hased his Totentanz, for piano and orchestra. The "straight form of the old chant never appears in the Saint-Saëns score. While the Danse macabre is Saint-Saëns's most frequently performed orchestral work, it was not originally conceived in orchestral terms.
