Danse macabre, Op. 40, is a tone poem for orchestra, written in 1874 by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns. It started out in 1872 as an art song for voice and piano with a French text by the poet Henri Cazalis, which is based in an old French superstition. In 1874, the composer expanded and reworked the piece into a tone poem, replacing the vocal line with a solo violin.

Who else heard this when they were young? When I was about 8 or 9 I was watching this video of some sort of skellington king raise it's minions from the ground? I dunno, I was young at the time so I didn't really get what was happening, all I knew was that was the most coolest, most amusing, most awesome video I ever watched.

@Vaporwave Templar In the Netherlands we have a theme park called Efteling and there is one attraction that sounds like what you are describing, so I'm not totally sure anyhow the name is Spookslot! Hope you found what you were looking for!

I may be alone in this but this song makes me feel like a young squirrel in the forest just doing squirrel stuff then I'm spotted by a hunter who gives chase and through this chase I find new beauty in the land and find a new love and a rush of good and bad is happening simultaneously. Run on sentence for effect. I love the strange things classical music can do to one and not another.. This music is all about interpretation

I'm pretty sure the song is supposed to be about dead people rising from their graves to dance or something like that. I mean, the title does translate to, "Dance of the Dead."

@minor_2nd 7 ай бұрын

@@INTJulius Indeed, the piece is about the devil playing his fiddle to summon the dead, with whom he dances until dawn. Note the 12 harp plucks at the start to symbolize a clocktower hitting midnight, the repeated tritones in the violin (devil's interval), and after the finale the oboe mimicking a rooster's morning cry.

@@TheOneBearded Donald duck starred in a different Halloween short called "Trick or Treat". That short, and "Hansel and Gretel", were both aired in the same episode of the "Mickey's House of Mouse" Halloween special (which was titled "Mickey's House of Villains"). That's the only connection I can think of. I have fond memories of that episode!

@TheOneBearded 4 жыл бұрын

@@griffin.greene I guess those memories really did merge. I know the Donald one came from House of Mouse and that it had more of a modern animation than the older Disney cartoons, so it couldn't have been one of the older ones. I looked up "Hansel and Gretel" and it is exactly what I was thinking. For some reason, I thought "Trick or Treat" was the mute one with just the track. This mystery has finally been solved! Only took 8 years..... Very much appreciated.
