Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns is one of the most popular pieces of his oeuvre. He dared not publish the orchestral work during his lifetime for fear of damaging his reputation as a serious classical musician.

Jennifer Seubel and Sally Beck, the flautists of the "Duo Noble", have arranged the famous work for two flutes.

The transposition of the most important parts, timbres and main melodies of the orchestral work into just two flute parts was a particular challenge; the result presented here exploits the entire tonal spectrum of the flute.
The arrangement offers different variations to develop a variety of sounds, e.g. the piccolo can be used in both parts in No. 2 "Poules et coqs" and in the first part in No. 7 "Aquarium".
