Danse Bacchanale by Camille Saint-Saens Concert Band - Sheet Music

By Camille Saint-Saens
Concert Band - Grade 5

SKU: WE.GMM173

Composed by Camille Saint-Saens. Arranged by Kenneth Singleton. Score and Parts. Grand Mesa Music #GMM173. Published by Grand Mesa Music (WE.GMM173).

A bacchanalia is the "Roman festival of Bacchus," and a "drunken revelry". Saint-Saens masterfully captures the exoticism of such a scene, using Middle-Eastern tunes (characterized by melodic intervals of an augmented second) and a full array of colors and effects. Singleton's authentic band setting captures the musical magic of the original opera music, and gives advanced bands an exciting and superbly crafted new transcription to perform.
