The Carnival of the Animals (French: "Le Carnavál de Animaûx") is a musical composition by Camille Saint-Saëns. It is one of the best known pieces of classical music for children.  The history of its composition. Saint-Saëns wrote the "Carnival of the Animals" as a distraction while composing his "Symphony No. 3". "Carnival" was performed at a small gathering of friends. Saint-Saëns did not want the general public to hear it, because he did not want to be thought of as someone who wrote jokey pieces. He wanted to be thought of as a serious composer. Just one movement was published during his lifetime: the famous Swan movement for solo cello. The rest of the work was not performed until a year after Saint-Saëns’ death. Following a disastrous concert tour of Germany in 1893, Saint-Saëns withdrew to a small Austrian village, where he composed The Carnival of the Animals in February 1894. It is scored for two pianos, two violins, viola, cello, double bass, Bass clarinet, saxophone, snare drumflute (and piccolo), clarinet (C and B♭), glass harmonica, and xylophone. The Music. There are 14 short movements, with a short introduction. Saint-Saëns arranged it for an orchestra consisting of flute doubling piccolo, clarinet (B flat and C), two pianos, glass harmonica, xylophone, two violins, viola, cello and double bass. Today it is often performed with a full orchestra of strings, and with a glockenspiel instead of a glass harmonica, which is an unusual instrument. Movements. After an introduction the pianos introduce a march theme. They imitate the roar of the lions.  This music sounds like hens clucking (the strings) and a cock crowing (the clarinet). The two pianos seem to go wild with scales rushing up and down madly. This movement for strings and piano is very slow, like a tortoise. Saint-S
