Fossils and
Finale combines two of
the better-known
movements from the
humorous Carnival of the
Animals. ThisÂ
14-movement suite by
Camille Saint-Saëns
featured musical
depictions of animals
such as The Swan
and The
Elephant, and was
written for a private
performance with young
students in mind. While
the composer didn't feel
it was serious enough to
be performed during his
lifetime, it has since
gone on to become a
beloved classical musical
favorite. In this
arrangement, the
quirky Fossils with
optional xylophone is
written to be more
accessible for
intermediate students,
segueing seamlessly into
the circus-like Finale.
Both movements feature
bright, fun melodies
within playable ranges
and keys for the
developing ensemble and
the original piano part
integrated into the
string parts.
