Danse macabre

Camille Saint-Saëns

For euphonium and piano

In B♭ minor, range E2 to F4

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.
