BERLIOZ – March to the Scaffold (from ‘Symphonie Fantastique’) – FOUR CELLOS OR FOUR BASSOONS

Other Identification:
“March to the Scaffold” is the fourth movement of Hector Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, a programmatic work depicting an artist’s opium-induced nightmare following the murder of his beloved, represented by the idée fixe melody. This movement portrays the artist’s forced march to his execution, complete with a somber march that becomes fierce and chaotic, culminating in a brief, poignant appearance of the idée fixe before the sudden, dramatic strike of the guillotine and a final series of pizzicato notes symbolizing his falling head.

How do free downloads work?

Please enjoy looking around the very large selection of music offered, and the information given for each piece or work. When you find music you want, simply click “Yes, I wish to download this music”.

You can then either continue searching or go to the Collection Point to receive the music. You can order up to ten PDFs in each session (once per day).

The very first time you receive music, you will need to register on this site with the briefest details, of course at no cost at all. Then, on subsequent visits, you simply ‘log in’.

It is hoped to launch a special viewer subscription for unlimited access in the near future.

Personal

David Johnstone lives near Pamplona (Navarre, Spain) with his wife Rosa and their two “Spanglish” children, close to the Atlantic Pyrenees. The nearest international airport is Bilbao.

He is interested in world affairs, politics, animal rights, and most sports (including being a lifelong suffering Reading FC fan!). Also passionate about Celtic culture and genealogy, he has traced his ‘English’ family back to 1280, although Scotland and Ireland have also shaped his background. And yes — he is half-ashamed to admit it, he  loves silly jokes!

Social Work

David Johnstone supports animal rights, he is against any form of abuse towards them, and says a loud “NO” to bullfighting, foxhunting and any other animal cruelty.

TORTURE IS NOT CULTURE !
