“Danse Macabre” is a tone poem written for orchestra by the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, and is considered to be one of his masterpieces. According to legend, Death appears at midnight every year on Halloween and calls forth the dead from their graves to dance for him while he plays his fiddle. When the rooster crows at dawn, the skeletons must return to their graves until the next year.
