Question
Description acceptable. In this movement of a larger work, the fast triple-meter melody (read slowly) “long C, long D, E E F long G” moves up through the orchestra from the low instruments to begin a fugal “Round Dance.” This movement opens ambiguously with a tremolo diminished chord in high strings over cellos chromatically climbing the tritone A-sharp to E. Near this movement’s end, whispery col legno strings underscore a trill-heavy woodwind melody representing (*) bones. Offstage chimes in this movement introduce a theme originally scored for ophicleide. An E-flat clarinet in this movement changes a theme from its larger work into a “vulgar dance tune.” This movement, which follows one depicting an execution by guillotine, includes a brassy Dies irae motif after a demonic version of the idée fixe. For 10 points, name this section depicting a satanic gathering from an opium-inspired Hector Berlioz piece. ■END■
