Death and death's victims make an alphabet that spells out book's title on its title page. La grande danse macabre des homes et des femmes, 1862.
The phrase "Danse Macabre," derived from French and meaning "Dance of Death," originated during the Late Middle Ages and remains a popular theme in the visual arts, music, and literature. The artistic concept behind the Danse Macabre emphasizes that death is a unifying force, regardless of one's social status. It serves as a memento mori, serving as a reminder of the inevitability of death and the temporary nature of worldly life.
In visual arts, the Danse Macabre often depicts a procession led by the personification of Death, portrayed as a skeleton or a Grim Reaper. Participants in this procession come from all walks of life, including kings, popes, peasants, and children. They dance together in a chain or circle, emphasizing the universal nature of death. These portrayals emerged in the 14th century, a period marked by the Black Death and the prevalence of mass mortality, which made death an immediate reality.
In music, one prominent example of the Danse Macabre is a tone poem composed by Camille Saint-Saëns in 1874. This piece draws inspiration from an old French superstition and features a solo violin tuned to E-flat, known as the "devil's interval." The music creates an eerie image of Death playing the fiddle at midnight on Halloween, summoning the dead to dance.
The motif of the Danse Macabre has also found its way into literature in various forms. It has appeared in morality tales from the Middle Ages to contemporary works in the horror and fantasy genres. Its purpose typically revolves around reminding readers of their mortality and the transient nature of worldly possessions and accomplishments.
