Camille Saint-Saëns - La danse macabre

"La danse macabre" de Camille Saint-Saëns (Les Clefs de l'orchestre de Jean-François Zygel avec l'Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France).
Just have a look on flute players!
Сен-Санс - Пляска смерти (в исполнении филармонического оркестра Радио Франции). Обратите внимание на флейтистов!

It is the musical rendition of the old French superstition about the skeletons rising from their graves to dance on Halloween night. The xylophone represents their bones rattling as the dance to the violin.

[@MarcusJean13]

hi,you're right about the old superstition but there is anything relative to "Halloween" . I'm French and I've never heard about an Halloween night in France. Halloween is an Ireland , UK, US, Canada or Australia's thing ;)

[@TheLucyColeman]

Marcus J. Halloween or Hallowe'en is known as All Hallows' Eve, is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day (Sometimes known as All Saints Day) and has been around in Europe since long before the USA hijacked it for 'Trick or Treat' as it was a Celtic (and possibly Pagen) festival originally I would imagine it is well known in Northern France.

[@Piisuke]

Marcus J. You'll find that a lot of American festivities have roots in European folklore. The USA as a country is very young where Europe has existed way longer. When people migrated to "The New Frontier", they took with them the stories and over time, these stories have embedded themselves into American culture.

0:05 Twelve strokes of midnight from the harp; 0:34 1st Theme by the (gorgeous) flautist; 0:47 the lead violinist (so utterly accomplished and dignified) plays the descending scale of the second theme; 1:01 echoed by the woodwinds. Such a gentle call and response with violins- then wind instruments - timpani and bass thumping the beat. 1:34 warm sweeping strings nicely guided by the conductor; 1:48 lead violin and the xylophone makes an appearance. Call and response - 2:04 strings descending scale, 2:17 then oboes; 2:37 flutes lead in a staccato of flutes, strings, 2:52 Flautist feeling the moment, 2:56 leans into it! then, horns join in. Svetlan Rousev seen here in his precision conducting. 3:05 A beautifully warm passage by the lead violinist. 3:12 flutes respond; 3:29 the graceful strings and 3:39 cellos building-up, the pace quickens; 3:49 the horns: trombones - French horns & trumpets - trombones; the strings, at 4:07 a great dissonance; 4:27 Timpanis; 4:32 descending strings; 4:40 lead violin: death fiddles- plunking of strings; 4:55 lead violin plays a sweet interlude; 5:06 strings as if the wind blows; 5:35 the timpani introduces the horns descending, with shimmering tutti and timpani punctuation; 5:58 the strings do a breathtaking, sliding-notes descent. After which, 6:15 the race to the end, at 6:32 halts for the oboe, with a background drone; 6:39 shimmering strings, timpani drumroll; 6:51 a lovely melodic lead violin; the orchestra quietly ushers the ghosts back to their graves. I don’t pretend to do analysis well. (You’re welcome to do a better one and I’ll delete this). This the best performance of Danse Macabre I’ve found. The Montreal Symphony Orchestra performance is magnificently played! Thank you for posting!

This is a great analysis, but I would change the section at 2:04 to having the strings repeat the main melody of the piece introduced by the soloist. The oboes after that join in that melody. These would replace the comment about the descending scales.

Le vent d'hiver souffle, et la nuit est sombre, Des gémissements sortent des tilleuls; Les squelettes blancs vont à travers l'ombre Courant et sautant sous leurs grands linceuls, Zig et zig et zag, chacun se trémousse, On entend claquer les os des danseurs, Un couple lascif s'asseoit sur la mousse Comme pour goûter d'anciennes douceurs. Zig et zig et zag, la mort continue De racler sans fin son aigre instrument. Un voile est tombé! La danseuse est nue! Son danseur la serre amoureusement. La dame est, dit-on, marquise ou baronne. Et le vert galant un pauvre charron - Horreur! Et voilà qu'elle s'abandonne Comme si le rustre était un baron! Zig et zig et zig, quelle sarabande! Quels cercles de morts se donnant la main! Zig et zig et zag, on voit dans la bande Le roi gambader auprès du vilain! Mais psit! tout à coup on quitte la ronde, On se pousse, on fuit, le coq a chanté Oh! La belle nuit pour le pauvre monde! Et vive la mort et l'égalité! Tap, tap, tap-Death rhythmically, Taps a tomb with his heel, Death at midnight plays a gigue, Tap, tap, tap, on his violin. The Winter wind blows, the night is dark, The lime-trees groan aloud; White skeletons flit across the gloom, Running and leaping beneath their huge shrouds Tap, tap, tap, everyone’s astir, You hear the bones of the dancers knock, A lustful couple sits down on the moss, As if to savour past delights. Tap, tap, tap, Death continues, Endlessly scraping his shrill violin A veil has slipped! The dancer’s naked! Her partner clasps her amorously. They say she’s a baroness or marchioness, And the callow gallant a poor cartwright. Good God! And now she’s giving herself, As though the bumpkin were a baron! Tap, tap, tap, what a saraband! Circles of corpses all holding hands! Tap, tap, tap, in the throng you can see King and peasant dancing together! But shh! Suddenly the dance is ended, They jostle and take flight-the cock has crowed… Ah! Nocturnal beauty shines on the poor! And long live death and equality!

His name is Svetlin Roussev

[@laurarobbins3947]

In February 1982, my High School band did this piece; school was too small for an orchestra. Instead of 1st Violin as the lead instrument, it was 1st Alto Saxophone as the lead. Our lead Saxophone player ( Bryan) did an amazing job on it.

[@connermoss1994]

Something so very beautiful and creepy about this. Very lovely in such a haunting way. Like a soft stroke from a ghoulish shadow.

I was a first chair cellist for around 8 years. This is making me seriously miss playing in an orchestra. I haven’t made the time to pick up my cello for a few years now, and I’ve really really missed it.

If I’m remembering this correctly the composers of this song were inspired after walking through the Paris catacombs that were filled with skeletons of those who were killed by the Black Plague.

[@marianmatei1138]

Well, let’s summarize… violin concertmaster - Svetlin Roussev, flute - Magali Mosnier, oboe - Hélène Devilleneuve, all under the magnificent baton of Christian Vasquez. The perfect recipe for an ethereal performance indeed!

[@ricardofranciszayas]

Thank you for the information. I was looking for the names of the performers. This orchestra has a special aggressive energy. I can really feel the attack solo violinist uses in the early part of the piece and contrasts it with the mezzo piano towards the end, without sacrificing the beautiful fat tone he and the instrument produces. Wow! He can really play. I love the big round sound of his instrument. Virtuoso.

[@craigy_baby]

Do you know the name of the violinist next to the concertmaster?

[@marianmatei1138]

@@craigy_baby I am really sorry, but I don't know, by name, any musician in the world. I wish I would, but sadly I don't. Those three I've mentioned before have long standing successful solo carriers behind them. Obviously, they are not just members of `Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France`.
