I'm listening to Camille Saint-Saens right now. Ask me anything!
Don't know much about him, and I'm suprised to find that a lot of the fairly popular classical music you know you've heard before is actually him. I've heard some of this as incidental music in movies, I'm sure, and never knew who it was.

3. The CD has a cut from that--The Swan--which is VERY familiar...
...but that was just filler--his violin concerto number 3 sounds very familiar to me also!

7. Never saw that movie, so it must have been another film I'm thinking
about, but can't recall which.

5. A few different ones on this cd--Violin concerto No. 3, and The Swan from
La Carnaval des Animaux!

Both sound familiar to me!

6. I recently discovered he has a setting of Ave verum corpus
...which to my mind is just as lovely as the Elgar, Mozart, and Byrd settings. I want all four at my funeral.
