Camille Saint-SaënsLe Carnaval des animauxErnst-Günter Heinemann (Editeur)Edition Urtext, reliure paperbackpour flûte (piccolo), clarinette (Si bémol/Ut), harmonica de verre, xylophone, piano I, piano II, violon I, violon II, alto, violoncelle, contrebasseConçu en tant que pièce humoristique de circonstance à l’occasion du concert de Carnaval de son ami le violoncelliste Charles-Joseph Lebouc en mars 1886, le Carnaval des Animaux obtint un tel succès que Saint-Saëns en demanda, peu de temps après, l’interdiction d’exécution et de publication. Il craignait, de fait, que cette «Grande Fantaisie zoologique» - consistant en 14 courtes pièces pour onze instruments - ne vînt faire de l’ombre à ses compositions sérieuses. Cinq mois seulement après la mort du compositeur, elle fut quand même imprimée et entreprit alors - dans sa version originale comme sous forme d’innombrables arrangements - son cortège victorieux dans le monde entier.C’est ainsi que le Carnaval devint alors l’œuvre véritablement la plus populaire du compositeur français, tandis que son originalité musicale lui permet d’être abordée fréquemment dans l’enseignement musical ou jouée par des orchestres d’élèves. Grâce à la combinaison de l’édition d’étude et de l’édition des parties séparées (pour laquelle on peut également commander des parties supplémentaires en cas de formations de cordes plus importantes), les Éditions G. Henle proposent désormais un matériel optimal. / Partitions classique / Ensemble et orchestre / Musique de chambre / HENLE VERLAG

... quite unexpectedly, kangaroos with starched white caps start hopping about between the rows of seats, offering refreshments. The Great Zoological Fantasy was composed in February 1886 for a carnival concert in Paris. After the first concerts, Saint-Saens prohibited all further performances and declined to have the work published during his lifetime. He was justifiably fearful that this occasional work could eclipse his more ambitious pieces. The present Urtext edition by Peter Jost is based chiefly on the autograph, which diverges in certain essential points from the standard first edition available up to now. Loriot's well-known text is printed in the Appendix to the score.

Following a disastrous concert tour of Germany in 1885-86, Saint-Saëns withdrew to a small Austrian village, where he composed The Carnival of the Animals in February 1886. It is scored for two pianos, two violins, viola, cello, double bass, flute (and piccolo), clarinet (C and B?), glass harmonica, and xylophone. From the beginning, the composer regarded the work as a piece of fun. He wrote to his publishers Durand in Paris that he was composing a work for the coming Shrove Tuesday, and confessing that he knew he should be working on his Third Symphony, but that this work was such fun (... mais c'est si amusant!). He had apparently intended to write the work for his students at the École Niedermeyer, but it was first performed at a private concert given by the cellist Charles Lebouc on Shrove Tuesday, 9 March 1886.

For flute (piccolo), clarinet (B flat/C), glass harmonica, xylophone, piano I, piano II, violin I, violin II, viola, violoncello, double bass 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.
