Fossils and Finale

Fossils and Finale combines two of the better-known movements from the humorous "Carnival of the Animals" by Camille Saint-Saëns. The quirky Fossils with optional xylophone is written to be more accessible for intermediate students, segueing seamlessly into the circus-like Finale. Both movements feature bright, fun melodies within playable ranges and keys for the developing ensemble and the original piano part integrated into the string parts.
