	Berlioz, Fantastic Symphony, fifth movement
	9 min., 45 sec.

	INTRODUCTION
						Mysterious orchestral effects
			Fanfare			Like a distant trumpet or horn summons; woodwinds. Echoed by muted French horn
			Fanfare			Again
	IDÉE FIXE
						Prefatory statement: two phrases (only) of the idée fixe; riotous orchestral response, ff
			Idée fixe			Entire tune presented in a grotesque transformation, in 6/8 meter, played by "squeaky" E-flat clarinets
			Crescendo
			Upward motive			A short, expectant motive (later this motive initiates the fugue subject of the "Round Dance")
			Transition			Quiet descending passage
			Funeral bells			Three sets of three bells (the third set is muted); the upward motive also appears
	DIES IRAE
			Phrase 1			Phrase 1 of the plainchant is played in three versions: (1) tubas and bassoons-slow
						(2) horns and trombones-faster
						(3) woodwinds-faster still (the rhythm here recalls that of the idée fixe)
			Phrase 2			Phrase 2 of the plainchant, in the same three versions
			Phrase 3			Phrase 3 of the plainchant, in the same three versions (Meanwhile the funeral bells and the upward motive are occasionally heard)
			Transition			The upward motive is developed; crescendo
	WITCHES' ROUND DANCE (free fugue)
			Exposition			Four entries of the fugue subject
			Episode 1
			Subject entries			Three more entries, in stretto
			Episode 2			A passage starting with a loud rhythmic motive, derived from the subject, comes four times.
						The music dies down.
						Fragments of the Dies irae
						Long transition; big crescendo over a drum roll
			Subject entry			The original subject returns.
			Subject plus Dies irae			The two themes together in a polyphonic combination. This is a climax; trumpets play the Dies irae for the first time.
			Subject entry			Final appearance of subject: over strings col legno (played with the wood, that is, the back of the bowl). Some notes are lengthened.
			Dies irae			Phrase 1 hastily recollected in the same three versions as at its first appearance; big drum strokes
			Conclusion			Final passage of cadences: very loud. The last note is sustained.
