Description
This is the opening prelude from Saint-Saëns' oratorio, Le Déluge (The Flood). It is scored for string orchestra with a solo quartet. There is a range of textures and sonorities. The technical level is not especially difficult, even for the solo players, with the exception of the solo first violin part which explores the full range of the instrument.
