Death calls them to the dance, the solemn undertone of his music reminding them that all must return to the earth at the end of this night of earthly pleasures. They seem to glide over the autumn frost, their bones cracking, yet waltzing and cavorting with nary a care. Fiddling with Death takes its toll, however, and at sunrise of All Saints' Day, the skeletons climb back into their tombs for yet another year as the rooster crows, a sure reminder to those among the living that their turn will come. Fiddling with death also took its toll on Saint-Saëns at the box office. Its dissonance, chilling percussion, and thematic material turned off its first audiences, whose brushes with death occurred with regularity. The fear of war, coupled with a high mortality rate from disease and accidents consumed the lives of many concertgoers of the late 19th century, who went to the concert hall to escape their cares. Its first incarnation was as a song which set to music a poem by Henri Cazalis about the French tradition in which the dead arise from the grave each Halloween to enjoy earthly pleasures. Similar traditions are found around the world. This poem, though, captures the grim reality of mortal life in its final lines, "Oh what a beautiful night for the poor world! Long live death and equality!" (Quotation cited from Wikipedia) Death, the reality that even the very rich and famous cannot evade, came to Saint-Saëns just a few years after the premiere of this work. After having married one year after its premiere in 1875, Saint-Saëns fathered two boys, who both met their deaths in three short years of life. This tragedy eventually led to the composer walking out of his marriage, never to return. What he lacked in family life, Saint-Saëns achieved in his professional career. As a world-renowned as a composer, lecturer, and conductor, he traveled throughout the world, introducing audiences in both the concert hall and in the new film industry to his work. He eventually earned the Grand Cross of the Légion d'honneur, one of the highest honors for a French citizen. As for the "Danse macabre," its popularity grew. Its chilling tones, merging with the festive, whirling waltz rhythm continues to entice audiences to this day.
