Topic: "Poules et coqs” - Hens and Roosters (Joke No4)

Saint-Saëns regarded the work Le carnaval des animaux/The Carnival of the Animals, as a piece of fun and was not performed during his lifetime. Here is my "Poules et coqs” -  Hens and Roosters (Joke No4), a humorous fantasy.
Camille Saint-Saëns inspired me to compose something crazy, the opposite to all my Bach-playing :-)

Despite the anxious atmosphere you made me burst out of laugh with those funny poultry !
I also loved your wedding march and Bach cantata.
You are becoming a reference for Organteq

Thank you, Gérard! I’m so touched to read your kind words

I agree!  You are becoming our poet-laureate house-composer for Organteq.  Almost like you are channeling the composers of two centuries ago (and older and newer),

Quite wild and full of whimsy and folly, how can one not like this?    Great work syncing the video to the music!

Thank you ken. Again sorry for late reply. Might be I can't keep up anymore; I've gotten a bit old.  .

Best wishes,

What a delightfully quirky and creative piece Stig! channel Saint-Saëns’s playful spirit is captured so well here—the rapid, clanking motifs and bright registrations do a hilarious job impersonating the pecking and crowing of hens and roosters!

Taking a break from structured counterpoint and serious repertoire to just have fun with physical modeling is what makes virtual instruments like Organteq so enjoyable. The humor translates brilliantly.
Bravo on a fantastic "poultry fantasy"!
