Carnival of the Animals

Album by Camille Saint‐Saëns

Carnival of the Animals is a musical suite by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, composed in 1886. The multi-movement suite uses light-hearted chamber orchestration and vivid characterisation to evoke animals and scenes, and it occupies a distinctive place in Saint-Saëns's output as a pedagogical and light-music work that bridges salon music and the orchestral tradition.
