Le Danse Macabre

[ZekeyLizard]

I need to know who wrote "le Danse Macabre"


And I dont mean the Stephen King book.

I mean the song, the symphony. The beautiful music I have fallen in love with.
I adore this song.
And unfortunately the internet is not helping me find out who wrote the original song at all. All it keeps bringing up is "Stephen King's" bloody book and a bunch of poorly-coded goth websites for people who actually dance for the dead or something. My only clue it "Saint-Saens" but I dont know what that is at all. :-/ Is he the composer or a poet or wtf?

I am getting quite frustrated.
Apparently the song was also as the theme song of some show called Jim's River or something. That being another useless fact the net has given me.

If there is anyone on these forums who knows a good bunch about classical music and the composers, please post in here. If you dont know, dont post. And dont guess either.


And for those of you wondering what the hell song I am babbling about, click here: http://www.orgel.com/music/mp3/ehl-dmac_56.mp3 or here: http://aching.download.free.fr/mp3/demos/Aching_Beauty-danse_macabre.mp3

Any and all help is appreciated highly like a starving calf to a bloated udder.

Technically, click here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danse_Macabre_%28Saint-Sa%C3%ABns%29) for the right URL - Saint-Saens was the surname of the composer who wrote the piece.

Saint-Saens was a French composer, born 1835, died 1921. Linkage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camille_Saint-Sa%C3%ABns)
