Danse Macabre
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)SKU: AL43101 -

Der Erlkönig
Der Erlkönig, or “The Elf King,” is based on Johann Goethe’s late 18th-century poem of the same name in which a father and his young son ride home on horseback one dark and eerie night. The father tries to calm the increasingly fearful son by explaining everything the boy reports as simply leaves rustling in the wind or willows moving in the fog. Nonetheless, the father rides faster and faster home only to find the boy is dead in his arms when they arrive. Goethe’s dark and gothic tale is brought to spine-tingling life in this harrowing, fast-paced tone poem for band. (3:20)SKU: AL44161 -
