Random Page  /  Random Song


Le carnaval des animaux (The Carnival of the Animals) is a musical suite of fourteen movements by the French Romantic composer Camille Saint-Saëns.

Le carnaval was composed in February 1886 while Saint-Saëns was vacationing in a small Austrian village.

Tortues (Tortoises)

Strings and piano: A slightly satirical movement which opens with a piano playing a pulsing triplet figure in the higher register. The strings play a maddeningly slow rendition of the famous 'Galop infernal' from Offenbach's operetta Orpheus in the Underworld.
