Watching a gigantic pipe-organ peacock was not something I knew I needed, but I’m so glad that I got it 😂😂😂
✨✨✨🎶🦚 🎶✨✨✨
On a visit to Paris we wandered past a church that had just finished a service, my wife and I walked in and sat down as the organist played this for all his worth, amazing experience left me breathless and in joyful tears, just like now.
Once had the pleasure of seeing this live, the organ is breathtaking
The Chief has somehting to say!!!!
0:30 "If I had words, to make a day for you. I'd sing you one morning golden and true. I would make this day last for all time, and fill the night deep in moon shine."
It definitely feels like Camille kept Carnival of the Animals as his "best-of" suite because you can hear pieces of it in all of his pre-mortem music
I really like this recording and the way it captures the sub bass frequencies from the 32’ organ stops
Best rendition I’ve ever heard of the finale 👍👍
Well, it is the "hit single" bit. C S-S really should have kept this bit for the very end - there's another 7+ minutes of the finale after this which, honestly, does nothing for me compared to this bit.
@@G6JPG I’ve never actually thought about it like that, but you are quite true. Even the last chord of the Symphony cannot really be compared with the very first chord of the Finale…
@@MarcusPVO Yes; the bit after (in this recording) 1:43 would in any other circumstances have been a perfectly fine piece of music, but is lessened by coming after those organ and horn bits.
Compare the Widor - there, the middle twiddly bit (which almost gets interminable! But tolerable to anyone who knows what's coming) is just capped by the ending few bars.
Thank you so much for this presentation !!! I have watched it many times and I cannot stop watching it ; Well Done !!! You have given us much I sight into the scoring !
Please, LSO. Post the entire piece.
We’re the LPO ;-) We could provide a longer excerpt here

@@londonphilharmonicorchestra . . . Yes, I have seen this several times. It is a spectacular performance . . . of the 4th movement only. I commend the LSO for such quality. But, my request is that you would make the entire Third Symphony performance available.
What fun!
Love this
amazing animation to showcase this masterpiece
Does anyone know why Saint-Saëns notated the melody starting on the second beat of the 9/4 bars? It doesn't make any sense to me!
To land the last note on the down beat of the next bar
@@Daniel-hx1yu yeah I think so too, but the other instrument, not the organ. Like the orchestra land on the first béat of the 9/4 bar and the next the organ plays his chord.
@@Daniel-hx1yu But it could just be an 8/4 bar (followed by 7/4). Since every beat is accented it doesn't really need to be 9 beats. Or is there a reason why it's 9/4?
@@sphenlee even with accents there's a clear distinction between the pickups and the groups of 3, that's why it has to be in triple time
@@sphenlee the phrasing would be completely different if it was notated like you suggested.
So astonishing 🤩
The Swan and Organ Symphony had the same time signature
I could be wrong but at 0:12 there is a mistake in the left hand, the very top note is an F which would make the chord a 7th chord but it sounds major so it should be a G?
You are correct! The left hand should be G, B, D. That’s our own notation error
0:30 That music sound familiar. Like song name "If I had words" from "Babe the sheep pig" 💡😀❤
Section somewhat reminds me some of aquarium from carnival of the animals
@@kangaroofortytwo From the same composer
Babe is quoting this.
And for some reason it reminded me of this melody
th-cam.com/video/ob9tQVz737c/w-d-xo.html
they used the Saint-Saens as source music throughout the film.
Why the jumping organ-bird?
to represent accents
I don't actually _want_ there to be a reason. It's just one of those glorious quirky things in TH-cam!
It's the "Organ symphony" yet ironically the lime light is stolen by the 4-handed piano part
6拍子と9拍子なんだ。
