Music in Durham

Saint-Saëns – Aquarium

A request from Rebecca that reminds her of a happy afternoon observing a primary school lesson.

Fish again today, this time with a request by my friend and cousin-in-law(?) Rebecca, who said

“This reminds me of being at university and helping out for an afternoon a week at a local primary school. This was possibly one of the sweetest lessons I ever observed where 30 Y1 children ran and danced and pretended they were fish.”

You get a bonus video today, because as well as one in the original orchestration, I found a rather sweet animated version by the Scott Brothers, and as my son is a huge fan of theirs, I thought I’d include it.

And here’s the animated version by the multi-talented Scott Brothers, played by them on organ and piano.
