About this arrangement

Orchestra Detailed Instrumentation: String Orchestra (8-8-5-5-5 in set) SKU: AP.36-A195801 Composed by Camille Saint-Saens. String Orchestra. Kalmus Orchestra Library. Score. LudwigMasters Publications #36-A195801. Published by LudwigMasters Publications (AP.36-A195801). ISBN 9798888523230. UPC: 676737619572. English.Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) composed the French oratorio Le Déluge (The Flood), Op. 45 in 1875. Using a libretto (a poème biblique) by Louis Gallet, it tells the biblical story of Noah and the flood. In three parts with a Prélude, the full oratorio premiered on March 5, 1876, at the Théâtre du Châtelet under Edouard Colonne. Despite often being included among Saint-Saëns' best works, the oratorio is rarely performed. The Prélude, however, which includes a passage for solo violin, is more often extracted for concert performances. A string count of 8-8-5-5-5 is included in the set.
