Suite algérienne
Suite algérienne in C major, Op. 60 is a composition by Camille Saint-Saëns in four movements. The composer had a lifetime love for Algeria. In 1873, he visited it for the first time.

His publisher Auguste Durand asked him to write more pieces like this one. So in the summer 1880, which he spent in Boulogne-sur-Mer, Saint-Saëns composed three other movements: on 12 July in a letter to Durand he wrote that he began working on them. By the end of August composition was finished (he reported it in a letter to Durand written on 30 August). The whole suite had its first performanc
