This program is part of a series that presents music of the world's greatest composers matched with the beautiful scenery and art of Europe. Images of paintings, sculptures, architecture, and landscapes float before the viewer as the compositions play. In this program scenes of animals in the wilds of Africa and the Knie's Children's Zoo are juxtaposed with the sounds of Camille Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals. Vistas of the alpine forests of Switzerland, as well as Roman ruins in France, accompany the strains of Bizet's L'Arlesienne.
