	Carnival of the Animals
		Thus, the lumbering elephant is represented by a low-register bass melody, the graceful swan becomes a legato, solo 'cello line, and the kangaroo's hops are depicted by quick glissandos in the piano.
		One of Bach's favorite animal depictions was the snake, its slithery motions easily depicted by melisma passages in the voice or obligato part.
		These are fairly conservative examples of animal imagery in music, since Haydn was bound by the conventions of the Viennese Classical school.

		However, he proved he had a sense of humor when he wrote "Carnival of the Animals." Saint-Saens was a teacher in a music school when he decided to play a joke on his students -- a musical joke, of course.
		The carnival opens with a majestic march for the king of beasts and continues with lighter-hearted, sometimes comical, music for each of the other animals, before the elegant swan glides gracefully into the distance.
		"Carnival of the Animals" may have been written as a joke for music students, but people have enjoyed this interesting composition so much that it is arguably the best loved and most famous of all the pieces written by Camille Saint-Saens.

		In creating the look and style for Carnival of the Animals, Goldberg turned to his wife Susan, a veteran clean-up artist with a varied background in animation.
		The composition is often praised for its ability to bridge the gap between the high “classic” formal tradition and the “fashionable tricks” of the new “romanticism”.
		Despite his efforts to be remembered for more serious works, this delightful portrait of members of the animal kingdom has endured as one of the most widely known and frequently performed compositions.

		Each animal will be drawn on a separate half-sheet of paper with the title of the animal on it so that they can be stapled together as a book titled "My Carnival of the Animals Book".

		Also, because the students are acting out the animals in groups they have the ability to work together and learn from each other, but at the same time include their own ideas and abilities.

		During the concert, hundreds of the drawings were displayed as Karen told stories of the zoo and Amy and Ann performed excerpts of the music to a rapt audience of students.

		At the most, it is really only when we notice the posters advertising the Carnival festivities at Viareggio, Putignano, Cento or other towns or else just because we remember to buy a ticket for the National Lottery held on these occasions.
		He therefore often organised, or charged someone to organise, a series of festivities to keep the population happy, on the basis of the old motto "panem et circenses", in other words he knew that, while the his subjects were busy enjoying themselves and had a full stomach, they were never likely to start a revolution.
		Carnival was all this and more in the past, in fact, especially during the reign of the Grand Dukes, when the sovereign appeared in public, it was possible, especially for Berlingaccio, to make him the object of disrespectful jests!

		Groups of animals were also a type of person in Oliver's life, so the story and the style of the dancing drew on several themes at once.
		Because each group represented both an animal and a type of person, the dancing in each group had the character of the animal, but was not held to it literally.
		Carnival of the Animals was also very effective because the narrator sustained the macro-structure of the work.

		At the 2003 Spring Gala, Wheeldon unveiled his latest ballet, Carnival of the Animals, a delightful adventure through the animal kingdom, as seen through the eyes of a young boy.
		Oliver, the boy, is locked in the Museum of Natural History and during the night, all the people he knows come to life as various animals.
		Jon Morrell’s scenery is wisely simple, leaving the focus on the dancers and his delightful costumes, which subtly mix the human and the animal so that neither are lost.

		There was not an animal he was not prepared to manhandle.
		The animal world has finally taken its revenge on Irwin, but probably not before a whole generation of kids in shorts seven sizes too small has learned to shout in the ears of animals with hearing 10 times more acute than theirs, determined to become millionaire animal-loving zoo-owners in their turn.
		Nor does she make up her mind about the animals themselves, at one moment admiring them for majestically beating the waves and the next ascribing to them feelings of revenge toward Irwin.

		However, the lighthearted “Jupiter Symphony” and the laugh-out-loud “Carnival of the Animals” were certainly enough to entertain the audience.
		As the creatures around him come to life, they strangely resemble people he encounters in real life – the lion is his professor, the hyenas his classmates, the hens and cockerels the parents of his friends.
		The laughter was nonstop as Oliver (Austin Butler) watched the animals come to life, and the audience eagerly awaited the clever narration describing the next creature and corresponding real-life counterpart.
