Le Carnaval des animaux. Written in March 1886 as a humorous occasional work for the traditional carnival concert organized by his cellist friend Charles-Joseph Lebouc, the Carnival of the Animals was so successful that Saint-Saëns banned performances and publication soon afterwards. He was worried that this ?grand zoological fantasy? - consisting of 14 short individual pieces for eleven instruments - might overshadow his serious works. Yet only five months after the composer?s death, it appeared in print after all, beginning its worldwide victory march - in its original setting as well as in numerous arrangements. Thus, the Carnival did in fact arguably become the most popular work by this French composer and, owing to its musical originality, it is also a favourite in music lessons or for school orchestra performances. With this combination of a study edition and an edition in parts (for which additional parts for larger numbers of strings may be ordered), G. Henle Publishers now presents the perfect resource for such occasions.

American composer Philip Glass is widely known as one of the most celebrated influential and prolific of the modern composers. He is frequently referred to as a minimalist though he prefers to call himself a composer of?music with repetitive structures.?Façades is a work that describes superficial qualities. Philip Glass wrote this piece as part of the soundtrack for the film Koyaanisqatsi but it was not used and so became anindependent work. In fact it became a staple of live performances of the Philip Glass Ensemble during its era (1981). Originally its eerily flowing sonorities were to have accompanied visual scenes of New York?s Wall Streetapocalyptically deserted. The piece was given a new name Glasspiece #2 when it was choreographed for the New York City Ballet.This work is for Flute 1 & 2 OR Saxophone 1 & 2 with string ensemble Violin 1 & 2 Viola andCello.
