  • This originally aired on PBS in the 1980s featuring a poorly made up vampire host to introduce and discuss.
    It was also shown to me when I was in elementary school. One of the best short length Halloween animations ever created. Terrific illustrations.
    About the piece: Danse macabre, by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, was an art song for voice and piano (first performed in 1872) with a French text by the poet Henri Cazalis which is based in an old French superstition. Two years later, the composer expanded and reworked the piece into a tone poem for orchestra, replacing the vocal line with a solo violin. The rest, they say, is history.

      While it is not conventionally animated, the art and camera work make it feel alive, and of course the evocative music. As an animator, let me tell you, animating skeletons must be a colossal bitch! I haven't even mustered up the will to attempt it.

    @ajmittendorf 7 лет назад +677

    Y'know, the animation may be less than sophisticated, but at least the artists knew the poem that inspired Saint-Saens' poem, and illustrated the music accordingly. For that, this video gets 10/10 from me.

One day I was talking to a middle school band teacher and hummed the parts I remembered and said we used to listen to it in music class on halloween and he "sang" the song and I was overjoyed that he knew it. Love it, so many memories.

    Shows how well our imaginations worked back when I was in elementary school in the 70's and 80's, because I remembered this film being much more elaborate than it obviously was! I can still see in my minds eye the darkened classroom and this film being projected by an actual film projector while we all sat on the floor watching! I have had a lifelong love of the Danse Macabre ever since! I remember we also listened to an old time radio show of "Sorry, Wrong Number Please" starring the actress who played the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz! I loved my childhood and my elementary school! Simpler times.

    The teacher on the smart board had his own makeshift animation presentation thing sort of like this and at the end when the song hypes up it’s the sun rising and the skeletons are scrambling to get back to their grave and I loved the anticipation.

    This scared me to death back in elementary school. I literally had panic attack and had to leave the room because all the lights were off and the visuals gave me nightmares. I love it as an adult now. As for those calling this animation, it is NOT animation. This was a series of images on a projector cast onto a wall or pull-down screen. Our music teacher flipped through the different slides throughout the song.

    When I was in kindergarten, the music teacher played this for us once. I was raised in a Christian home (and still practice Christianity), and I had been told we weren’t going to celebrate Halloween with any big emphasis because, you know, demons are bad lol. Anyway, I took that idea wayyyyy too far (further than my parents ever intended), and being the devout 5-year-old Christian I was, I got mad at the music teacher for showing us this. It’s not even related to Halloween in and of itself, but she showed it around Halloween/in the fall, and so my mind made it a Halloween cartoon. And to me, Halloween was exactly the same as devil worship. In my mind, this woman had forced me to violate my religion and core beliefs by having me watch this video (I was a weird kid haha)!
    I wanted her to get in trouble, so when I got home from school that day I told my parents that she made us watch a horror movie about zombies. As you can plainly tell, this video is not, in fact, a horror movie about zombies. They asked me all kinds of questions about my story, knowing I wasn’t telling the truth. They threatened to call the school and get mad at the music teacher, which of course I told them not to do because I knew I was lying. I don’t believe they actually ever called or told anyone what I said. And I was punished for the lie haha.
    She was actually a good teacher and exposed us to a wide range of topics, mostly relating to classical music. My family moved to a different state the following summer, so I started 1st grade in a different school district, but I bet I would’ve learned a lot more from her had I stayed in that first school (it was K-12). I went on to become a classically trained pianist and singer, spending most of my childhood studying classical music (I stopped just before starting college). I can still remember several of the lessons she taught us, and while I wouldn’t attribute my decision to begin classical training to her class alone, I would definitely say she gave me a nice start and opened my mind to the world of music. I can’t even remember her name, but if she still shows this video to her kindergarten students, I hope she checks the comments and sees this. Haven’t seen her in around 15 years. Hope she’s still teaching and doing well.

    • @Rachel-xg7hs
      @Rachel-xg7hs 2 года назад +7

      @CR Productions Fair enough. I have learned the actual history of Halloween before (not gonna say I’m some kind of expert but I am aware of Samhain). I think my parents just wanted to make sure I never got too into Halloween. Like some people actually do go out and visit places that are supposedly haunted and get out ouija boards. That may not be the original thing to do on Halloween/All Saints’ Eve/All Hallows’ Eve, but modern people take that day as encouragement to mess with stuff they shouldn’t. My parents didn’t want anything like that going on in their house, so they let me know early on we weren’t gonna be a big Halloween family. I do dress up most years haha! But my costumes are always more “innocent.” I’ve gone as Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean multiple times, as well as other Disney characters. No sexy costumes though! Gotta keep it PG. Especially since I spend Halloween at church volunteering at the fall festival. I don’t believe in ghosts at all, but I do believe in demons and that Satan uses them to hurt us. I think if you start trying to communicate with them that you’re messing with stuff you should leave alone. And that’s pretty much it haha.

      It would have helped your 5 year old self to have been told it's actually super religious 😅. Danse Macabre, momento mori, Three Dead and Three living are Christian reminders that death comes for us all and to turn to God and living a good life before it's too late.

    A great tune and the old tale of Death waking up the dead between the time of midnight and the crow of the rooster at dawn and dancing etc to music is absolutely wonderful, i especially love the sound of Death regret after the rooster blows that the day of music and dance is over. This old tale comes from stories from pagan times & the time of the black death with symbolism thought to derive also from all souls day & the Halloween period in general . A total classic of classical music.

    I really love this! I like that Death isn't just another skeleton, although he could be; he's the hooded overseer and orchestrator of the whole event. Very nice; perfect for Halloween.

    This is a rather complicated piece of music. I played piano for many years, and l was never quite able to emulate that "sharp" sound of the violin/viola that made this such outstanding music - you know the one l mean. Saint Saens was certainly a very talented composer.
