Brass Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.921045 Composed by Camille Saint-Saens. Arranged by Michael Drennan. Halloween. Score and parts. 101 pages. Drennan Music Publications #6606503. Published by Drennan Music Publications (A0.921045). Based on a French legend, this Symphonic Poem was composed in 1874 for Orchestra. According to this legend, at midnight on Halloween Death calls forth the dead to dance for him while he plays his fiddle. His skeletons dance for him until the rooster crows at dawn, when they must return to their graves until the next year. This is a very challenging arrangement that includes a contrapuntal section, a tricky modulation, and an unusual presentation of the Dies Irae.
