This magnificent cantilene Le Cygne [The Swan] by Camille Saint-Saëns is the 13th and penultimate movement of the Carnaval des animaux.

It is appropriate for Grade 5 viola players.

The Swan is written in G Major, with a 6/4 time signature.

The lyrical viola melody is accompanied by broken chords in the piano.
