Totentanz


This is the last in my series of Fall classical harp arrangements.  The music is "Totentanz" by Franz Liszt, and I've excerpted and arranged parts of it for two harps.  It's about death, and I have included lots of pictures of angels, saints, and heaven.  3-1/2 minutes of some amazing music!
