CARNIVAL OF THE ANIMALS

Welcome to the Carnival of Animals, the celebration of life!
When the world of musicians and animals meet, no
stone is left unturned! Whether lions or chickens, donkeys or
turtles, everyone has turned up; even fossils
stand up again. Sing, dance and guess along with us!

Composer Camille Saint-Saëns delights the whole family with this hit of classical music. And he didn't even want to see the sheet music published during his lifetime! He wrote the suite down for fun in 1886, incidentally in a small village in Austria. Saint-Saëns was worried about his reputation as a ‘serious’ composer, which is why the Carnival of the Animals was not published until 1922. Little did he know that this work would bring him more worldwide fame than any other.
Since then, generations of children and adults alike have been bowled over by Saint-Saëns' original way of musicalising animal calls. He has also hidden all kinds of ironic Easter eggs for classical music freaks: he quotes Berlioz in the elephant and Rossini in the fossils, for example.

Have fun at this party!
