Format : Score and Parts
Camille Saint-Saens' Elephant is a delightful miniature from The Carnival Of The Animals and is one of the few works that are attractive to learners and accomplished players alike. Its many musical and technicalchallenges have earned it a permanent place in the teaching repertoire yet it offers soloists a welcome opportunity to demonstrate their prowess and espirit even in the low register.The ease with which a greatcomposer accurately and skilfully probes the idiosyncracies of this largest of string instruments for expressive purposes - a combination of features seldom encountered in the double bass repertoire - is truly impressive. All themore astonishing therefore that the Elephant although widely known is relatively rarely heard in the concert hall.This Urtext edition of the score has been edited with critical commentaries as well as fingeringand bowing of the double bass part by Tobias Glockler. The accompaniment is notated in E flat and F and so the double bass can perform using either solo tuning or orchestra tuning.

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.
