Carmen Suite No. 2 is the second of the two Carmen Suites, written by Georges Bizet and arranged posthumously by his friend, Ernest Guiraud. Adhering closely to Bizet's orchestration, the Carmen Suites are based on the music composed for the 1875 opera, Carmen, following the orchestration of Georges Bizet. As both of the Carmen Suites are composed of 12 movements in total, Carmen Suite No. 2 contains 6 movements. Carmen Suite No. 2 was published c. 1887.
It is the same music used for The Silly Song Machine and the Little Einsteins V-Smile Game.
