This is a Halloween night narrated by an ancient myth.
At the beginning of the song, the harp, accompanied by the continuous chords of string instruments, accurately picked out around twelve Half note.
The hour of announcing the ghosts has arrived, and the stone door of the cemetery immediately opened, and all the ghosts crawled out of their graves.
The leader was holding a violin , this is the God of Death, he is adjusting his instrument... and then the moment of dancing demons begins...
The Skeleton Dance, also known as the Dance of Death, seems a bit creepy literally,

But if you listen carefully, you will find that it is a very beautiful and imaginative symphonic poem!
It is the most famous work by modern French composer Camille Saint-Sa?ns after "Carnival of the Animals" A well-known song.
The melody adopts the melody of the medieval chant of Armageddon, which profoundly and vividly depicts the "party" scene in which the God of Death plays the violin for a group of skeletons in the cemetery.
Although the music is about so-called "unlucky things", due to the melodious melody and the exciting climax,
coupled with the percussion of violin, xylophone and drums, The large-scale orchestral music vividly created a "cartoon" image of a large number of skeletons dancing to the music.
Not only did it not feel resentful or scary, it also gave off a lively and exciting dance atmosphere, which made people feel happy. Never tire of listening to it!
This song is based on the poem of the French poet Cazali:
Coo, coo, coo,
This is Dance of death,
The feet dance to the beat,
The god of death also knocks on the cornerstone,
playing the notes of dance in the middle of the night;
Coo, coo, coo
This is the dance of death,
The cold wind calls in the night,
The moaning of the linden tree is like the waves. Whistling,
The shiny skeleton,
running around with the curtain;
Cuckoo, coo, coo,
The skeletons embrace and dance wildly,
bringing fear and pain to people,
Shh,
The sound of the dance has stopped,
The skeletons fled in a hurry,
because it was already dawn.
