OMP073 Lance Eccles Feeding-time at the Zoo

This antipodean answer to the Carnival of the Animals contains musical descriptions of a huge variety of animals from maggots to finches, via wombats, salamanders, kangaroos and many more.  Each animal portrait depicts the various creatures by melodic, harmonic and rhythmic means.  This imaginative collection would be ideal for an intermediate level ensemble and would probably be particularly popular with school groups.
