ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Romantic-era French composer Camille Saint-Saëns composed this piece as a laugh for his students but was adamant that it never see the light of day, at least while he lived—way too unserious for his reputation. But he did allow for it to be published posthumously, and it has become one of his most popular works. Each of the 14 movements describes different animals, from lions, elephants, and kangaroos to such fanciful creatures as fossils, “long-eared somethings” (did Saint-Saëns mean donkeys, music critics, or both?), and even piano students. The Carnival of the Animals is a showcase both for the piano soloists and the instruments of the orchestra.
