Excerpts from Devil's Dance by Alexander Comitas
Great performance of my Devil's Dance by Robbert Vos and Brass Band Schoonhoven, conducted by Erik Janssen, from the CD euphonium dual, which can be purchased ar Robbert Vos' website: http://www.robbertvos.com/cd-dual.html. The CD also features beautiful compositions by Andrew Pearce, Etienne Crausaz, Herman Pallhuber, Jules Demersseman, Kenneth Downie, Bert Appermont, Marco Pütz and Rob Goorhuis. Anteun Hoesen also features as a soloist on euphonium.
Devil's Dance was originally written for E flat tuba and brass ensemble. It was first performed byØystein Baadsvik and the Brass Ensemble of the Symphonic Wind Orchestra Vorarlberg SBV, conducted by Thomas Ludescher. This performance can be heard here: • Alexander Comitas: Devil's Dance, inspired... . The first performance of the version for euphonium and piano, by David Thornton and Ruth Webb, can be heard here: • 'Devil's Dance' (Alexander Comitas) - Davi... .
According to legend, the Norwegian folk tune Fanitullen was invented by the devil himself. When played properly, and in combination with ample amounts of alcohol, it is said to have the power to arouse such fury in men, that they will start quarrelling and fighting to the death.
Normally, the tune is played on a Hardanger fiddle, a national string instrument that allegedly has hypnotic powers. For instance here: • Haakon Solaas plays Fanitullen on the hard... . The euphonium however, definitely has truly diabolical powers, too, when played properly, and in my view, this makes the instrument exceptionally apt for rendering the Fanitullen melody.
Both my adaptation of the tune and the accompaniment are meant to underline an ever increasing state of frenzy.
