About This Song

About "Carnival of the Animals, R. 125 : Saint-Saëns: Carnival of the Animals, R. 125: Ib. Royal March of the Lion" by Camille Saint Saëns

The lion's march struts with regal brass and a hint of parody. Saint-Saëns gives the king of beasts a pompous, swaggering theme—calm authority undercut by the sly wink of a carnival barker.
