Dance Of The Skeletons..1901..Thomas Sylvester Allen.

[Steve Harrison]

This was a tricky tune to arrange for banjo but I'm pleased with the result. It's typical of other dance macabre 'Halloween' type compositions. The piano score was in F/Dmin, I've arranged it in G/Emin as it works better on the banjo. My suggested fingering in the 4th part (from bar 51) leans towards the melodic style. I've included a very good recording by the Oregon Mandolin Orchestra, it begins with a series of atmospheric thunder claps before the tune starts. The score and MP3 will be added to the library later....Steve.
