Composed by Camille Saint-Saëns in 1886, Carnival of the Animals, was in his opinion a ‘fun’ piece that depicts, musically, different animals. This is a really good stimulus for enquiry because the music attempts to represent physical things through sounds and it’s a great introduction to the notion that music can paint pictures in our minds.
