Camille Saint-Saëns: “Danse macabre”
カミーユサン=サーンス: 「死のダンス」
TIME COMMITMENT: 7 minutes
A circular, robotic waltz grinds forward with unobtrusively hoarse, fine-grained violas juxtaposed against an ecstatically soaring theme. It was transcribed by Liszt for piano, but the nightmarish tonal range of the orchestral version conjures up more potent, Draculean, lugubrious visions.

A REFLECTION
I missed his funeral,
Those quiet walkers
And sideways talkers
Shoaling out of his lane
To the respectable
Purring of the hearse…
