Carnival of the Animals

Album by Camille Saint‐Saëns & Cincinnati Pops Orchestra & John Morris Russell

The Carnival of the Animals is a musical suite by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, composed in 1886. Written as a light-hearted, partly private diversion, the suite uses piano and chamber-ensemble textures, concise movements and vivid pictorial writing to portray a variety of animal-inspired scenes, occupying a distinct, more playful place alongside Saint-Saëns's larger symphonic and operatic output in music history.
