Birds that sing, insects that buzz and creatures that take shape through the instruments: welcome to the Musical Bestiary.
Can music have paws, wings… or even whiskers? Prepare to plunge into this Musical Bestiary, in which composers such as Saint-Saëns, Prokofiev, Messiaen, Rimsky-Korsakov and Sibelius brought animals of every kind to life.
Each piece invites us to imagine, play and recreate the sounds, movements and personalities of these animals.
In the Sound Logbook, you will be able to record the animals you have discovered and create musical animals of your own.
