susie b Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 I'm certain many of you will remember this grade school music appreciation filmstrip version of tone poem, Danse Macabre, Opus 40 by one of my favorite Romantic Era French composers, Camille Saint-Saëns. The watercolor illustrations by Harold Dexter Hoppes are magnificent. Enjoy!!! 🎃🖤💀🧡🦇🦴🎻 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember walking to my grade school while carrying my violin case and envisioning my 9 year old self playing Danse Macabre. While I didn't grow up to be the concert violinist like our beloved Darlene, I can still scratch out a tune. 🎃🖤🎻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 A novelty song, but even more than that, one of the best pop melodies from the era: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x84trc1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
