 Notes:
Saint-Saens is one of the most famous composers France has produced. A successful and widely renowned child prodigy, he was a master of form possessed of an acute intelligence. Many of his works stand out for their lush instrumentation, strong melodies and sweeping, grand musical statements.
His Carnival of the Animals is even more delightful: fourteen sonic "portraits" of all manner of beasts, including the majestic lion, the awkward and comical hen, and the slow, sad, yet noble tortoise. Saint-Saens masterfully used the orchestra, piano and organ to make exuberant and colorful music, leaving vivid impressions upon the minds of his listeners.

The Swan is performed by Annie Caruso on cello and accompained by Michael Gaertner on piano for North Allegheny School District's Opening Day Kick-off on August 22, 2007. I hope you enjoy this fantastic performance.

One of the most beautiful pieces that I have listened to during the BTS performances.
