There are manytypes of carnivals, butnowwe are goingtoknow more about“TheCarnival of theAnimals” (Le Carnaval des animaux). Followingthemusic of Camille Saint-Saënswe can listen tothelions, chickens, turtles, kangaroos, donkeys and some more animals in a triumphalmarch.
It´s a fantasy made up of 14 small movements. The work is curious because it has got an unusual instrumentation: two pianos, two violins, a viola, a cello, a double bass, a flute, a clarinet, an accordion and a xylophone. With these instruments the composer describes all the animals.
