It was composed by Camille Saint-Saens. She wrote many other versions that were of different animals. In this piece, I heard some strings, a piano, a flute, and a harp. The piano was playing arpeggios which represented a fish swimming through an aquarium. The loved the piano. The strings, flute, and harp were in the background. I liked this song although it wasn't one of my favorites. I considered that classical although I know it's not. It sounded very peaceful though which is always good. I think Camille did a great job representing nature with only a few instruments. She must've worked very hard to get it to sound like that. Sorry for posting this late.

It is the seventh movement of fourteen; all fourteen were composed in 1886, originally for a chamber group. What would a piece be without a piano, strings and an additional flute that plays the melody? The sound of rippling of the water and bubbles probably gave the idea of it being an aquarium away. Ten-on-one "ostinato", accompanied with a six-on-one and the harmonica playing a "glissando." I've never actually heard of the Carnival of the Animals. It must have been difficult to take instruments and make sounds that resemble nature. I enjoyed Aquarium because of the lax vibes that it gives off to people who hear it; one good thing about music class. All fourteen movements seem wonderful, especially the Tortoise, Swan and well, the Aquarium. (Sorry 'bout the late post.)

Mon, 29 Oct 2007 02:40:53 +0000 http://fams.musiced.net/2007/10/22/listening-example-13/#comment-489 In class, we listened to a piece called Carnival of the Animals by Camille Cason. The Carnival of the Animals was written to imitate certain animals, but the one we listened to represented fish. This piece was written in the late romantic period. In this piece I heard many violins and string instruments. i also heard a piano and a harp. The piano and harp sounded like bubbles and ripples moving outward. The violins sounded like fish swimming. The intruments' tones constantly went up and then down and so on. I really liked this piece because it was very relaxing. It was incredible how much it sounded like fish swimming, ripples moving, and bubbles. This piece was very well written.

This piece was written by CamillenCason in the late romantic era, and it is an impressionist piece. When the music first started playing, it started off very slowly. It sounded like there were bubbles playing allong with the music, and at some parts, it would be a little faster than others. It sounded like violins were playing and they were very high. It also sounded like there was an piano and a harp. At some parts, the piano would play very soft, and then very hard. In some places, the music would all of a sudden drop very low and there, the music sounded totally different from the rest of the piece. I thought this part sounded kind of creepy, and yet it still seemed to fit into the rest of the piece. I think the way the instruments were played were meant to sound like water movements. When the harp was played, I thought i heard small ripples of waves, and small waves of water flowing throughout the piece. I really enjoyed listening to this. It was ver calming and relaxing, except for the part when the music dropped very low. I thought that sounded like it belonged in a horror movie rather than in a piece like this. This selection of music was very smooth and calm, and made me feel like I was sailing through the ocean. The piece we listened to in calss was called, Aquarium from the Carnival of the Animals.

It was written in the late Romantic Era and early Impressionist Era. The Aquirium piece is one of many pieces in the Carnival of the Animals symphony. After comparing the Aquarim to a Beauty and the Beast song they souned very similar. The instruments that i heard were the harp and the violin. One piano part sounded like the fish was swimming deeper and deeper because the piano was going lower and lower. Another part sounded like a school of fish keep changing directions because the piano went low to high, low to high. In my opinion it was a beautiful piece. You could imagine different images in your head while listening to the changes in notes. This is not my typical type of music but it was a nice change.

This symphony was composed by Camille Saint-Saens. In this piece, I heaed what sounded like water flowing, fish swimming, and bubbles moving however I knew that it was not that. It really was pianos, violins, and other instruments found in orchestras. Even though this is not what I normally would listen to, it did create a very cool effect of sounding like water.

This is just one piece in the Carnival of the Animals series. This song was about fish in an aqarium. In this piece, I heard violins, cellos, bass, a flute, a piano, and a harp. Camille Saint-Saens was trying to imitate a fish and other animals swimming in water with help from the flute and violins, and used the piano to create a bubbly effect. Although I would not normally listen to something like this, I found it very peaceful and relaxing. This piece is called Aqarium from Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saens.
