Le Carnaval des Animaux (Grande Fantaisie Zoologique)

Album by Camille Saint‐Saëns

Le Carnaval des Animaux (Grande Fantaisie Zoologique) is a musical suite by French composer Camille Saint‑Saëns, composed in 1886. Scored for a chamber ensemble including strings, two pianos and a small assortment of solo instruments, the suite uses musical caricature and pastiche to evoke various animal characters through concise, often playful movements and represents a light‑hearted diversion within Saint‑Saëns's broader, more formal compositional output.
