$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / Around the turn of this century, a \ | composer named Camille Saint-Saens | | wrote a satirical zoological-fantasy | | called "Le Carnaval des Animaux." Aside | | from one movement of this piece, "The | | Swan", Saint-Saens didn't allow this | | work to be published or even performed | | until a year had elapsed after his | | death. (He died in 1921.) | | | | Most of us know the "Swan" movement | | rather well, with its smooth, flowing | | cello melody against a calm background; | | but I've been having this fantasy... | | | | What if he had written this piece with | | lyrics, as a song to be sung? And, | | further, what if he had accompanied | | this song with a musical saw? (This | | instrument really does exist, often | | played by percussionists!) Then the | | piece would be better known as: | | | \ SAINT-SAENS' SAW SONG "SWAN"! / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
