Prokofiev - Dance of the Knights EWQL Orchestration

Beautiful reconstruction of this great but(not-too-famous)classical piece from  Camille Saint-Saéns. The virtual orhcestra is Kirk Hunter as usual.

Zig, zig, zig, Death in a cadence, Striking with his heel a tomb, Death at midnight plays a dance-tune, Zig, zig, zig, on his violin. The winter wind blows and the night is dark; Moans are heard in the linden trees. Through the gloom, white skeletons pass, Running and leaping in their shrouds. Zig, zig, zig, each one is frisking, The bones of the dancers are heard to crack— But hist! of a sudden they quit the round, They push forward, they fly; the cock has crowed.
(Based upon an old french superstition by Henri Cazalis)


Camille Saint-Saéns - Danse Macabre

Excerpted from a complete performance in collaboration with the Amherst College Choral Society, the exciting second movement of the Requiem by Giuseppe Verdi as performed by the Amherst Symphony Orchestra.

Verdi Requiem: "Dies Irae"

"Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" is a famous musical composition for the organ. Composed by the Baroque maestro Bach, the piece is regarded as being the virtuoso's signature. Renowned for its regal and majestic resonance, dramatic command and titular opening motif, this piece  reveals the mastery of the performer's "touch" upon the organ's keys through its poignant and swiftly paced arpeggios. In western culture, the piece has developed an association with horror movies.

I recently installed some new software at my studio and wanted to put it through its paces a bit.  It's December, so this just seemed fitting.  Enjoy.
