Danse Macabre
This arrangement has been written with lower section bands in mind.
The principal parts very difficult but second parts should be
more manageable. Smaller bands should be able to produce a good effect.
A few figures have been simplified and a few bars of "tremelo"
at the end removed but otherwise it is more or less complete.
A xylophone player is desirable but not essential
timpani parts are cued in the drum part.
