Опубликовано: 7 мая 2012 г.Danse Macabre (first performed in 1875) is the name of opus 40 by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns.
The composition is based upon a poem by Henri Cazalis, on an old French superstition: 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.
According to the ancient superstition, «Death» appears at midnight every year on Halloween. Death has the power to call forth the dead from their graves to dance for him while he plays his fiddle (represented by a solo violin with its E-string tuned to an E-flat in an example of scordatura tuning). His skeletons dance for him until the first break of dawn, when they must return to their graves until the next year.
The piece opens with a harp playing a single note, D, twelve times to signify the clock striking midnight, accompanied by soft chords from the string section. This then leads to the eerie E flat and A chords (also known as a tritone or the «Devil's chord») played by a solo violin, representing death on his fiddle. After which the main theme is heard on a solo flute and is followed by a descending scale on the solo violin. The rest of the orchestra, particularly the lower instruments of the string section, then joins in on the descending scale. The main theme and the scale is then heard throughout the various sections of the orchestra until it breaks to the solo violin and the harp playing the scale. The piece becomes more energetic and climaxes at this point; the full orchestra playing with strong dynamics.Towards the end of the piece, there is another violin solo, now modulating, which is then joined by the rest of the orchestra. The final section, a pianissimo, represents the dawn breaking and the skeletons returning to their graves.
The piece makes particular use of the xylophone in a particular theme to imitate the sounds of rattling bones. Saint-Saëns uses a similar motif in the Fossils part of his Carnival of the Animals.

Мои дороги везде.
Я парень сам по себе.
Не стар и не молодой.
И следую за судьбой.
Наверно такая карма.
Прости меня милая мама.
Прости, прости.
Я верю в то, что свыше.
Написано всё уже.
Кому то много денег.
А кому, жить в нищете.
Кто вольный, словно ветер.
Кто заботами покрыт.
Я в поисках удачи.
Небесами я не забыт.
Гуляй душа сердита.
Походкою бандита.
На проблемы давно забита.
Вся жизнь шита-крыта.(2х)
Я знаю не много, ни мало.
Без удачи нет начала.
Иду к своим берегам.
Что моё — никому не отдам.
Всё будет шито-крыто.
И карта любая — бита.
Добро я помню, добро не забыто.
Моё сердце окаменело.
Гуляю по жизни смело.
Пережитое не вернуть.
Позади, как Млечный Путь.
Помудрел, не по годам.
Знаю, многое не по зубам.
Что моё не потеряю.
У судьбы своё отыграю.
