Danse Satanique

"Danse Satanique" begins with an incantation to the solo Horn addressing the occult forces. The end of this incantation is taken up by the Clarinets in the form of a litany giving rise to depths an evil power symbolized not only by the disorganized thrill of a part of the orchestra but also by the power of the Trombones in glissandi. Soon, the emergence of an evil world - with its reminders of the incantatory theme - is set up and inevitably leads to satanic dance.
