Danse Macabre or Dance of Death is one of the most famous works by Camille Saint-Saëns. The composition is based on the poem of the same name by Henri Cazalis (1840-1909).The dance of death is musically represented with various effects starting with twelve strokes of the clock - which of course suggest midnight. Then dissonant sounds and a somewhat wistful waltz melody follow. A thematic build-up full of tempo changes leads to an intense majestuoso which ends abruptly after which a melancholy farewell melody takes over. This wonderful symphonic poem appeals to everyone’s imagination - as it will in this expert arrangement for accordion orchestra.

This suite was composed by Jan Van der Roost on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of the ‘Koninklijke Sint Martinusfanfare’ (Royal Saint Martinus Fanfare Band) from Halle (Belgium). The composer was required to create a suite in three movements based on three images associated with the ‘Sint Martinusfanfare’ from the small town of Halle in the province of Brabant. The first movement (Andante Pomposo) describes Martin a soldier in the Roman army. In Andante Moderato we see the image of Martin who become a Christian and chooses to devote his life to God. In this movement the composer was inspired by the Brabantine gothic art of the Sint Martinus Basilica in Halle. Thecontrast between the dark Basilica and the statue of Our Lady between the soaring pillars will vividly come to life for audiences of this descriptive piece. The final movement Allegro Molto Vivace’ could have been an image for a frivolous peasant in the Halle carnival. In a triptych about St. Martin it is more fitting to refer to it as an apotheosis the crown on the pastoral work of Martin Bishop of Tours Patron Saint of the Fanfare Band and the Basilica of Halle.
