The Ritual Fire Dance by Manuel da Falla is taken from the ballet El Amor Brujo (The Bewitched Love) written in 1915. The work was influenced by a traditional dance used to worship the fire-god where the participants involved would jump or leap through fire. Candela, a Gypsy girl performs this Ritual Fire Dance causing a ghost to appear. She begins to dance with the ghost whirling faster and faster until the ghost is pulled into the fire, causing it to disappear.

This brilliant arrangement by Ralph Sauer for Horn and Piano of about four and a half minutes is written for advanced performers.
