An Allegro pomposo section in this composition features a slow double bass adaptation of the violin part in Berlioz's Dance of the Sylphs. This work's 12th movement quotes "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and, like a tone poem by the same composer, uses a xylophone to evoke clattering bones. That section, Fossils, precedes this work's most famous movement, which contains a cello solo adapted by Mikhail Fokine into a ballet for Anna Pavlova. Containing movements such as "The Elephant" and "The Swan", for 10 points, name this suite subtitled "Grand Zoological Fantasy" by Camille Saint-Saens.
