Totentanz Op. 70 No.2 by Sigfrid Karg-Elert (1877-1933)
Performed by Jonathan Scott on a 1908 Art Harmonium by Mustel, Paris (Serial Number 1924 - 1057) at Victoria Hall, Saltaire.
From the collection of Pam & Phil Fluke, Harmonium Museum, Saltaire.
Totentanz (Dance of Death) is the second of two 'Orchestral Studies' for Art Harmonium written by Karg-Elert in 1907.
It is based on the following verse:
DANCE OF DEATH
A vision. Death as a musician. On a bone harmonica he plays a bizarre dance, every now and then making a pause and a scornful laughing and grimacing.
The dancers spin in grotesque rhythms, sometimes orgiastic, wild,sometimes shadowy and transfigured.
The dance scatters.
Quietly from the invisible depths lament the voices of the departed. A child, a virgin, a young man, a man.
Their laments go unheard in the awful loneliness.
Once again the musician clearly raises the horrific bone harmonica.
The dance begins again. A clap of thunder - and the nightmare is over.
(Translation from the German by Jonathan Scott)
