The performance of The Swan is danced in a black tutu designed and made by Oswaldo Muniz, a well-known dancer and costumer with Les Ballets Grandiva. The piece has been rehearsed by Olga Kostritsky (Faculty, School of American Ballet), Victor Trevino (Artistic Director, Les Ballets Grandiva, and Marcus Galante (choreographer). The Swan is traditionally known as The Dying Swan, but this swan doesnt die. She starts to wither away and then waves her finger No! and does the pantomime for I wont die and does a curtsy and runs off stage. This is a new rendition of this traditional favorite dance piece. The sheer idea of dancing to this music in black is a new concept and certainly her living is a radical shift from the traditional comedy take offs of this piece.There is a combination of poignancy and comedy in this piece. People will laugh and hopefully some of the audience will reflect on changes happening in their lives. The Swan can mean so much to many different people. It can touch someone who is ending their career and retiring. Others may feel romance from the love the swan will exude. For some, it may be sad as there is something about the ballerina dancing The Swan that no-one knows. That wonder will leave the audience wanting for more, I hope.

Because he wanted to be considered a composer of serious, substantial music, Camille Saint-Saens suppressed his "Carnival of the Animals" shortly after its premiere, in 1886, disallowing any execution of the suite and publishing only one movement, "The Swan", in his lifetime. And while that movement is a welcome addition to pieces written for the cello, the whole "zoological fantasy" is a most successful example of humourously themed music in the classical repertory and has become, with full right, one of the composer's most popular works.It is cast as a suite of 14 short pieces and was originally scored for, at first sight, rather small chamber group of flute, clarinet, two pianos, glass harmonica, xylophone, two violins, viola, cello and double bass, but is usually performed today with a full orchestra of strings, and with a glockenspiel substituting for the rare glass harmonica. But the brilliance of Saint-Saens' piece lies not only in the sheer number of surprisingly witty and charming depictions of the animals; the composer uses only the instruments he needs at the moment and draws exceptional music from different combinations of his compact "cast".My choice recording here is a charming and warm account by the London Sinfonietta under the leadership of Charles Dutoit, the recording that introduced me to the work itself and which is one of my preferences for this particular piece.I divided the movements into three separate uploads with the finale actually being separated from the rest of the tableaux, making for a well-placed recapitulation.This is also my first upload where I tried playing with the possibilities of Windows Video Maker, thus I included several captions to mark the changes between the movements.14. No. 14. The Finale (full ensemble). The Finale opens on the same tremolo notes in the pianos as in the introduction, which are soon reinforced by the wind instruments, the harmonica and the xylophone. The strings build the tension with a few low notes, leading to glissandi by the piano, then a pause before the lively main melody is introduced. This movement is somewhat reminiscent of an American carnival from the middle of the twentieth century, with one piano always maintaining a bouncy eighth note rhythm. Although the melody is relatively simple, the supporting harmonies are ornamented with scales, glissandi and trills. Many of the previous movements are quoted here: the introduction, the asses, the hens and the kangaroos. The work ends with a strong group of C major chords.Hope you enjoyed this small series of uploads :).
