The goal of this edition is to provide symphony orchestras with a straightforward, performable version of Camille Saint-Saëns’ The Carnival of the Animals, scored for traditional symphony orchestra.
The pianos of the original scoring have been entirely eliminated.
And if you’re in the market to amplify your performance of The Carnival of the Animals with even more zoological fun, might I suggest having a look at the Carnival of the Animals Expansion Pack? This is a series of original animalian movements, including The Rattlesnake, The Porcupine, Chipmunks & Squirrels, Moose, The Mosquito, and many others. I’m always looking to add more, so feel free to send me suggestions for your local fauna!
