The Carnival Of The Animals In Full Score (Dover Music Scores)
Ebooks To Download

Written in 1886 for a Mardi Gras celebration, Saint-Saëns' best-known work consists of 14 pieces scored for flute/piccolo, clarinet, glass harmonica (tuned glass bowls), xylophone, two pianos, and strings. Playfully borrowing themes from other works — including his own — the composer paints delightful musical portraits of a lion, chickens, turtles, an elephant, kangaroos, and the immensely popular swan. Reproduced from an authoritative source. Instrumentation.

It clearly shows all the parts for all the instruments. The score is complete and unbridged as far as I can tell. I'm a pianist and am excited to learn the piano parts with my sister who also plays. I have a couple of brothers who play cello and violin. My dad plays clarinet. So we'd got half the instruments needed right there!

As a classical piece, I'm reviewing the publication, not the music.Contrary to its claims, book is extremely difficult to open and read. I eventually just cut out the spine and put each page into a sheet protector and into a binder.

The score was fine except for some of the printing wasn't as clear as it could be

Fun! I order two copies for my high school boys!
