Ever find yourself completely distraught with unyielding longing, writhing in utter agony and brooding terribly to know how exactly a late-eighteenth century French Romantic composer could ever aesthetically express the essence of various zoo animals? Fuck no! And that's okay! I've now outright violated your mind and impregnated you with such musings as to suit this temporal need of mine for invading Cocks, but only to, in turn, cordially provide you with the very thing itself.
Mind, you may find yourself already familiar with sounds in tracks 8, 11 and 17. Potentially 16, too. If this is the case, Wikipedia provides a concise summary of the suite's musical allusions and modern uses.
Note: Track 05 begins the animal parade.
Here's a translation of the French carnival titles:
I Introduction et marche royale du lion (Introduction and royal march of the lion)
II Poules et coqs (Hens and roosters)
III Hémiones (animaux véloces) (Wild asses; quick animals)
IV Tortues (Tortoises)
V L'éléphant (The elephant)
VI Kangourous (Kangaroos)
VII Aquarium
VIII Personnages à longues oreilles (Characters with long ears) [donkeys, again]
X Volière (Aviary)
XI Pianistes (Pianists)
XII Fossiles (Fossils)
XIII Le cygne (The swan)
XIV Finale
it could be fun (butthenagainmaybenot)
If it helps, they say Saint-Saëns would plan concerts to correspond to astronomical events such as solar eclipses. P-p-pretty cool, n-n-no?

This one is Geoff Smith - Fifteen Wild Decembers AS YOU CAN SEE
It's a new-classical thing where sometimes it's solo piano on this awful sounding 90s keyboard which kind of grows on you
and sometimes this classical mezzo-soprano sings poetry over it (who is his wife) (which is much better than it sounds) (the singing, not the wife) (cat, stop licking my soup bowl, I am trying to eat here)
The Rainpools Are Happy is this ambient interlude blatantly ripping off Harold Budd
Speak of the North sounds like a 90s rave track went to a Phillip Glass concert (worth the download alone, in my opinion)
AND Summer's last will and testament is Radiohead-level depressing
all in all, a $2 well worth spent in a Vinnies
