Camille Saint-Saens was one of the famous French romantic composer."The Carnival of the Animals" is one of his most famous pieces composed in 1886.It has fourteen movements, each one represents different animal.The moment the music starts you will feel that you are in a fantasy zoo.I started listening to this composition only 2 months back,now almost everyday im listening atleast any one movement It starts with 'Royal March of the Lion" with its majesty to the 'Aquarium" with grace, altogether a great musical experience. The fourteen movements are :
1 - Introduction & Royal March Of The Lion .....
2 - Hens & Roosters .....
3 - Wild Asses & Quick Animals .....
4 - Tortoises ..... 3:42
5 - The Elephant .....
6 - Kangaroos ....
7 - Aquarium .....
8 - Creatures With Long Ears .....
9 - The Cuckoo In The Depths Of The Woods .....
10 - Aviary .....
11 - Pianists .....
12 - Fossils .....
13 - The Swan .....
14 - Finale (Final) .....
Enter into the "Kingdom of Animals" created/composed by Saint-Saens.My favorite parts are "Aquarium" and "The Swan".
