message: Are there other versions of the poem? I think I've heard variations of the poem it's based on. Or is it just the English translations from French that are different? --86.12.232.113 21:48, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, no...I myself have a slightly different copy of the translated text than written here, but only slight variations in the English translation, not in the original French. After all, this article states, "The composition is based upon a poem by Henri Cazalis, on an old French superstition." ~~MusicalConnoisseur~~  Got Classical? 05:49, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed the "Reception" section has changed drastically in the past month:
"When Danse Macabre first premiered, it was not received well. Audiences were quite unsettled by the disturbing, yet innovative, sounds that Saint-Saëns elicited."
-Revision as of 21:29, 29 October 2007
"When Danse Macabre first premiered, it was received incredibly well. Audiences loved the perfect smooth, innovative sounds that Saint-Saëns elicited."
-Current revision (16:21, 12 November 2007)
So which is it? Going back through the history, I noticed the paragraph has been changed a few words at a time, every few days, until its current revision.
I've reverted the edits you describe, since someone at the same IP made another obvious bit of vandalism to the last line of the poem.  "...their cocks have crowed..." geez...

message: I think we could probably use some better audio. Kevin MacLeod's production, while using some good virtual instruments, has some pretty major inconsistencies with the original score. There's a more accurate rendition at IMSLP by the University of Chicago orchestra, but it sounds pretty out of tune and sloppy, and it's not great audio quality. Anyone got any other alternatives? ironmagma (talk) 18:04, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

message: ===Jonathan Creek===
I have changed the description of Jonathan Creek being an 'English' series. It is broadcast and I think produced, at least in part, by the BBC - the British Boadcasting Corporation.
Also, in the previous version of the article, the link from 'English' linked to the United Kingdom anyway. These are two separate things. Chris G

To my surprise the Silly Symphony Hansel and Gretel is mentioned but not the The Skeleton Dance, which was made in 1929. Although Carl Stalling, who scored the original music, claims it was not based on the Danse Macabre, it is very unlikely that the cartoon was not at least inspired by the Danse Macabre (either the poem by Henri Cazalis or the music by Saint-Saëns). It was not unusual for Disney Studios to use themes from classical music to make cartoons at that time. 77.167.212.162 (talk) 12:22, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

message: With some silly lyrics this is a popular children's Halloween song, it's on every youtube playlist and the lips a tens of thousands of children in the USA for decades, but for the life of me I can't find the original artists name or any info to include here. Any ideas? BoosterBronze (talk) 17:51, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

message: The tritone was never called the “devil in music” until the 17th century, which is not medieval. Can someone rewrite that part of the article to reflect this fact? Willthrill9 (talk) 18:33, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
