Camille Saint-Saëns’ "grande fantasie zoologique" is originaly a collection of 14 short movements, each with a specific animal subject. This suite was originally scored for two pianos and chamber orchestra. Yo Goto consulted Saint-Saens' score to set nine of the 14 movements for concert band. For humor, color and clarity he added piano and various percussion. Also, phrases were added for continuity and impact, particularly in the "Final".
