By Musical (Original Cast). By Jim Steinman and Michael Kunze. Arranged by David Boyd. Broadway,Musical/Show,Pop,Rock. 357 pages. David Boyd #1085794. Published by David Boyd (A0.1510595)."Tanzsaal", or "The Ballroom", is the dramatic antepenultimate piece from the musical Tanz der Vampire (Dance of the Vampires). Composed by Jim Steinman, with a book by Michael Kunze.
Transcribing "Tanzsaal" for concert band was both a challenge and an exciting opportunity to bring this theatrical masterpiece into a new context. Though it contains elements from the 2019 Berlin Cast Recording, the majority of the material is transcribed from the original 1997 Vienna Cast Recording. Most of the original string parts have been given to the saxes and lower clarinets. The upper woodwinds retain the expanded ornamental material from the Berlin production.
Two of the melodies prominently featured in this piece are recurring themes throughout the show. "Gott ist tot” (God is dead) and "Totale Finsternis" (Eternal Darkness) appear as both their own numbers, and as incidental melodic material. English listeners may recognize these as "Original Sin" recorded by Pandora's Box and Meatloaf, and "Total Eclipse of the Heart" recorded by Bonnie Tyler and many others.
