Children and adults enjoy Carnival. It is a party to dress up, dance, sing and live with joy. In Brazil, they throw themselves into the street and celebrate it to the rhythm of samba, in Spain there are comparsas who travel the cities with floats and dances and in Venice, they dress up in eighteenth-century costumes and artisanal masks. It's about enjoying and having fun.
Music is very present in Carnival and, although the samba has become the queen of all the melodies that sound during the holidays, there are others that have been dreaming for many years, as many as over 200.
Classical music so that children dance in Carnival
The French composer Camille Saint-Saëns composed a famous suite entitled The Carnival of Animals in 1886. It is a piece composed for flute, piano, harmonica, xylophone, violin, viola, cello and double bass. The author thought that he had created such frivolous music that he only played it in private performances and left a provision for it to be published after his death. In this way, The Carnival of animals, only premiered one year after the author's death.
It is an ideal melody to bring children closer to classical music since each of the movements represents a different animal, all done with great ingenuity. The lion is played by strings and pianos trying to imitate his roar. The slow movement of the turtles or the cackling of the chickens are also imitated with the piano.
Through classical music children can express themselves, imagine, feel ... They are not, as many believe, melodies only for adults, in fact, experts recommend putting Baroque classical music such as Bach or Mozart during pregnancy so that the baby inside the womb relax.
