Saxophone quartet, soprano, alto, tenor, baritone. Danse, originally titled as "Tarentelle Styrienne", was published in 1890. The lively rhythms of the work reflect the style of the Tarantelle, a wild dance in 6/8 that is supposedly performed to fight off drowsiness after being bitten by a tarantula spider. Arranged by Gary Bricault for the Washington Saxophone Quartet.
