/ Around the turn of this century, a composer named Camille Saint-Saens wrote   \
| a satirical zoological-fantasy called "Le Carnaval des Animaux."  Aside from  |
| one movement of this piece, "The Swan", Saint-Saens didn't allow this work    |
| to be published or even performed until a year had elapsed after his death.   |
| (He died in 1921.)                                                            |
| Most of us know the "Swan" movement rather well, with its smooth,             |
| flowing cello melody against a calm background; but I've been having this     |
| fantasy...                                                                    |
| What if he had written this piece with lyrics, as a song to be sung?          |
| And, further, what if he had accompanied this song with a musical saw?  (This |
| instrument really does exist, often played by percussionists!)  Then the      |
| piece would be better known as:                                               |
