Camille Saint-Saens : Elephant from The Carnaval of the Animals

SKU: CF.YAS244

ISBN 9781491164969. UPC: 680160923878. Key: E minor.

Fossils and Finale combines two of the better-known movements from the humorous Carnival of the Animals. This  fourteen-movement suite by Camille Saint-Saëns featured musical depictions of animals such as The Swan and The Elephant, and was written for a private performance with young students in mind. While the composer didn't feel it was serious enough to be performed during his lifetime, it has since gone on to become a beloved classical-musical favorite. In this arrangement, the quirky Fossils with optional xylophone is written to be more accessible for intermediate students, segueing seamlessly into the circus-like Finale. Both movements feature bright, fun melodies within playable ranges and keys for the developing ensemble and the original piano part integrated into the string parts.
