Much of Saint-Saens' music is free from the constraints of classical form. This symphony is quite unusual and yet interesting, using an organ and 2 pianos in addition to the full orchestra. These few bars are only a short excerpt from the 3rd movement of this symphony, and this theme was used in various arrangements by Nigel Westlake in the film Babe. Note that this is a large orchestral score and it might challenge many soundcards to play all the instruments in Scorch or Midi formats. If this is the case, try playing the MP3 version or our arrangement for solo organ or piano.
