Fossils by Saint-Saëns arranged by Zoë Booth for four or more flutes/flute choir
£9.95
The French composer Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) was greatly admired for his artistic output by well-known composers such as Berlioz and Gounod, and Liszt considered him the world’s greatest organist. ‘The Carnival of the Animals’ was written by in 1886; the fourteen pieces vividly and humorously paint musical pictures, for instance the heavyweight, low melody depicting the elephant, the graceful swan theme over a watery accompaniment, or the springy leaps on the piano which represent the kangaroos. Saint-Saëns has provided plenty of enjoyable melodies to be shared around the flute ensemble in this faithful arrangement of Fossils; whether performing as a quartet or with the addition of piccolo, alto, bass flute and/or clarinet, this piece is a real audience favourite!
