2. – “Dierenliederen” (Animal songs): music for children’s choir (poems by Ivo de Wijs) written for Hein Franssen and his Koorklas Culemborg (KKC). The first pdf-file concerns is a version for childeren’s choir (sometimes clarinet) and piano.
   The second pdf is a version for children’s choir and chamber orchestra. You can combine these Animal songs with the “Carnaval des Animaux” of Saint Saëns: the different parts are played before the part of Saint Saëns with the same name. The instrumentation of the Animal songs is nearly the same as in Carnaval des Animaux, except there is only one piano and no harmonium.
