Danse macabre

Camille Saint-Saëns

For alto sax and piano

Written in F♯ minor, range C4 to D6

At midnight Death tunes his fiddle, and the skeletons rise from their graves to dance, faster and wilder, until the rooster crows at dawn and they flee. The piano part is Giuseppe Gariboldi’s, from his version for cello and piano.
