HALIDONMUSIC "Le cygne", or "The Swan", is the 13th and penultimate movement of The Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns. The piece illustrates the fleeting nature of beauty with its interpretation of the legend of the "swan song": a popular (albeit erroneous) belief among the ancient Greeks and Romans, who regarded the swan as the most beautiful of animals, was that the mute swan is silent until its final moments of life, during which it sings the most beautiful of all birdsongs.
