Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Danza del fuego (Ritual Fire Dance) is a movement of the ballet El amor brujo (close translation:The Magic Love), written by the Spanish composer Manuel de Falla in 1915. It was made popular by the composer''s own piano arrangement. The dance has a duration of about three to four and a half minutes. The work was influenced by Rimsky-Korsakov''s Flight of the Bumblebee due to its fast, repetitive trills and ornaments. The piece was also influenced by the traditional, religious ceremony of a fire dance. This is a dance which was used to worship the fire-god, and in which people would often jump through or leap around the fire. In De Falla''s ballet, El amor brujo, a young Andalusian gypsy girl called Candela is haunted by the ghost of her dead husband. To get rid of him, all the gypsies make a large circle around their campfire at midnight. Candela then performs the Ritual Fire Dance. This causes the ghost to appear, with whom she then dances. As they whirl around faster and faster, the ghost is drawn into the fire, making it vanish forever.
