The Aquarium is exactly what I picture! I love the Swan too.

Aquarium is my favorite movement, it just evokes that feeling of standing in a dimly lit room while light filters through water and you watch colorful fish float around in their tanks.

[BeeNotDismayed]

Saint-Saëns has a great sense of humor! 👏😁

When I was a toddler, I used to watch Classical Baby, and they had The Aquarium playing in one of the episodes along with The Swan. To this day, I listen and even play classical music and when I listen to these two pieces, I cannot help but cry out of joy.

Puedo decir que Le cygne 17:29 ha ido sanando mi corazón cada vez que la he escuchado. 🥲

[rajneeshkalita]

The Swan is my favourite 😮‍💨…didn’t hear the others before but all are amazing.

[gisepadilla]

I'm using this in my Preschool class this afternoon. Bit by bit. 3-5 year olds❤.

[Mooderge]

This is preformed by the Seattle youth symphony! WOW! They produced a sound on par with a professional group, I'm blown away.

[moein-lifestyle]

Excellent Video . In my opinion, the most ingenious part of this work is the Aquarium . It's very beautiful and magical . 🐟🐠🐟 08:05 👍

[itsthemaggieshow]

Just found the record with Leonard Bernstein explaining this, and it taught me that both Bernstein and Saint-Saens had great senses of humor. Love learning about works of art by people from the past who were really just like us.

[caterscarrots]

I love how you combined animal footage with the music in a way that matches it. And I like how you used both African and Asian elephants for the elephant movement. I had an idea for a similar suite type thing with North American animals, so like I'd have these animals:

Squirrel 🐿
Owl 🦉
Cat 🐈
Snake 🐍
Wolf 🐺
Mouse 🐁
Alligator 🐊
Spiders 🕷
Eagle 🦅
Frog 🐸
Songbirds 🐦
Butterflies 🦋

And I have some movements partly done already. Like the Frog movement sets the calls of multiple frog species to music, the Spiders movement is a Tarantella, and the Squirrel movement just has a lot of fast movement and scattering of lines across the instruments.

Instrumentation: Piano + Orchestra for the whole suite, but for example, only double reeds and strings in the Frog movement.

Thank you so much for matching all this awe-inspiring UHD imagery to this majestic music:
throughout I have just been entranced and left totally breathless by the superb combination.
I only wish that Camille Saint-Saëns, could have witnessed your worthy tribute
to His wonderful music.

[cemsity]

god i always crack up when i hear the tortoise movement. Hearing Offenbach's Galop Infernale played so slowly is just hilarious

[doragarcia]

A mis nietos Silvia, Ulises y Denis les encanta, les relaja y se duermen viendo esta maravilla. 😊❤
