About the artist

I'm a software engineer. Basically, I'm computer geek who loves to solve problems. I have been developingsoftware for the last 25+ years but have recently rekindled my love of music. I am relearning the piano andmy first love; the pipe organ. I am active in our church (the Sierra Vista United Methodist Church:(http://www.lovesvumc.com/lovesvumc/Welcome.html) and am eager to provide spiritual sustenance suchas harp, organ and handbells arrangements.

Many of my scores are posted with individual parts and matching play-along however, this is not alwayspractical. If you would like individual parts to any of my scores or other specific tailoring, please contact medirectly and I will try to accomodate your specific needs.Artist page : http://www.free-scores.com/Download-PDF-Sheet-Music-magataganm.htm

An English translation of the poem follows:Zig, zig, zig, Death in cadence, Striking a tomb with his heel,

Death at midnight plays a dance-tune, Zig, zig, zag, on his violin.

The winter wind blows, and the night is dark; Moans are heard in the linden trees.

White skeletons pass through the gloom, Running and leaping in their shrouds.

Zig, zig, zig, each one is frisking, You can hear the cracking of the bones of the dancers.

A lustful couple sits on the moss So as to taste long lost delights.

Zig zig, zig, Death continues The unending scraping on his instrument.

A veil has fallen! The dancer is naked. Her partner grasps her amorously.

The lady, it's said, is a marchioness or baroness And her green gallant, a poor cartwright.

Horror! Look how she gives herself to him, Like the rustic was a baron.

Zig, zig, zig. What a saraband! They all hold hands and dance in circles. Zig, zig, zag. You can see in the crowd The king dancing among the peasants.

But hist! All of a sudden, they leave the dance, They push forward, they fly; the cock has crowed.

Oh what a beautiful night for the poor world! Long live death and equality!
