Danse macabre, Op.40 by Camille Saintsans

Saint-Saens' masterpiece was originally composed in 1872 as a song for voice and piano. It transformed and expanded into the familiar tone poem two years later for symphonic orchestra featuring a solo violin with the top E-string tuned down a half-step and a prominent part for xylophone. This newly engraved and edited study score is based on the first edition score and parts and produced in a convenient, easy-to-read size for fireside reading on Halloween nights.

Charles-Camille Saint-Saens (9 October 1835 – 16 December 1921) was a Romantic-era French composer, organist, conductor, and pianist. Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso (1863), Second Piano Concerto (1868), First Cello Concerto (1872), Danse macabre (1874), Samson and Delilah (1877), Third Violin Concerto (1880), Third (Organ) Symphony (1886), and The Carnival of the Animals (1886) are among his most well-known compositions.
