Composed by Camille Saint-Saens. Arranged by James M. Guthrie. Romantic Period,Standards. 118 pages. Jmsgu3 #4366268. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.549996).

Full-length arrangement for Concert Band. Instrumentation: 2 flutes, 1 oboe, 2 Bb clarinets, 1 bass clarinet, 2 alto saxes, 1 tenor sax, 1 baritone sax, 2 Bb trumpets, 2 horns in F, 2 tenor trombones, 1 tuba. Melodic percussion: xylophone (or marimba) chimes (or tubular bells). Percussion 1: snare drum, crash cymbals, gong. Percussion 2: bass drum, crash cymbals, gong.

The significance of Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre lies in its representation of death as the great social equalizer and its association with Halloween and the macabre. Originally an art song for voice and piano, the piece was later expanded and reworked into a tone poem for violin and large orchestra, becoming one of Saint-Saëns' most famous works.

Representation of Death: Danse Macabre was inspired by the French legend that Death plays the fiddle at midnight on Halloween, causing the skeletons in the cemetery to crawl out of their graves for a dance party. The theme of death as the great social equalizer, where no one can escape the dance with death, is depicted in the music and has inspired various paintings and art pieces.

Composition and Reception: The piece is in the key of G minor and scored for an obbligato violin and an orchestra of various instruments.  When it was first performed in 1875, Danse Macabre received mixed reviews, with some critics expressing anxiety due to its dissonance, use of a xylophone, and hypnotic repetitions. However, it is now considered one of Saint-Saëns' masterpieces and is widely regarded and reproduced in high and popular culture.

The composer writes : This work was premièred on April 27, 2003 at the Eglise Saint-Roch in Paris with the prestigious Orchestre de la Musique de L’Armée de L’Air, under the direction of my friend and colleague, Claude Picheraureau. I have always been fascinated by the beauty of the Cosmos, which has inspired many of my works. Feelings of infinite movement can be expressed musically and it seemed to me that one of the ways to do this was to end this work on a repeated phrase played in a long perdendosi, to give the impression that one is hearing the echoes of the finished phrase as the instruments stop playing. I had just started to write this work when I received a note for the Paris Observatory which gave me the news that the astronomical community had decided to name a newly discovered asteroid for Jean-Pierre Luminet. When I wrote to Jean-Pierre to congratulate him on this honour, reminding him with the Petit Prince that not everyone has their own star, I asked him if he would accept that I name this work for concert band with the full name of his asteroid: 5523 Luminet 1991 PH8. Jean-Pierre accepted my proposition by return letter : ..., not only do I not have any objection, but I would be very honoured. To be in the celestial spheres in the form of a rock and also in the form of music, what more could one ask for?

Composed by Jack Wall and Sam Hulick. Arranged by David Boyd. 21st Century,Instructional,Video Game. 207 pages. David Boyd #1065985. Published by David Boyd (A0.1489135).

General Overview

Suicide Mission is a pivotal piece in the soundtrack of the Mass Effect 2, capturing the high-stakes and intense emotions of the video game's climax. The original composition by Jack Wall and Sam Hulick is characterised by its unique driving rhythms, dramatic melodies, orchestral grandeur and bombastic tension. This arrangement for concert band and wind ensemble aims to retain the epic and cinematic quality of the original, while adapting the instrumentation and dynamics to suit a modern wind band setting.

This piece is crafted to subtly unsettle the listener, mixing heroism with barely under control anxiety. The irregular time signature and rhythms, combined with counter melodies and eerie open fifths and octaves, all contribute to this effect. The alterations to the familiar Commander Shepard Theme, first introduced here in bar 17 by the horns and alto clarinet, add to the tension, keeping your audience on the edge of their seats until the final note!

Instrumentation

This arrangement is scored for a wind ensemble or concert band with some extended percussion, including:

Woodwinds: Piccolo, Flute 1 & 2, Oboe, English Horn, Bassoon, Contrabassoon, Eb Clarinet, Bb Clarinet 1, 2, & 3, Eb Alto Clarinet, Bb Bass Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Baritone Saxophone. Note the Bassoon part uses bass and tenor clef

Brass: Trumpet 1, 2, French Horn 1, 2, Trombone 1, 2, & 3, Bass Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba

Percussion: Timpani, Snare Drum, Bass Drum, Roto Toms/Tenor Drum, Suspended Cymbals, Woodblock, Vibraphone, Tubular Bells
