Danse MacabreCamille Saint-Saëns / arr. Ryan Fraley | Jazz Ensemble | Grade 2.5Ryan Fraley's arrangement of Camille Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre transforms the iconic nineteenth-century supernatural tone poem into a dynamic 1930s hot-jazz piece reminiscent of Django Reinhardt's swing style. The work brings the haunting themes to life, set against compelling backbeats. It features skillfully written solos for plunger trumpet and trombone, an open solo section for improvisation (transcribed solos provided), and a sizzling sax soli, inviting musicians to delve into a fusion of classical sophistication and the exuberant spirit of early jazz. Top trumpet note: F-sharp 5. HX9028 Score & Parts: U.S. $55 Extra Score: U.S. $12 Exclusively distributed by Alfred Music |
