Helmut Quakernack: Global Animals: Accordion Ensemble: Score

Six beastly humoresques-Global Animals consists of six witty humoresques each depicting an extraordinary creature.There’s the Australian dancing buck that loves to dance in pairs a down-in-the-dumps Egyptian hippo in a permanent grouse with the world or the dastardly Southern European trill mosquito.The extinct Mongolian striped lion is deeply mourned while the arctic numbskull is so shy that he’s never been spotted. Then there’s the continuous shriek of the Columbian screeching ape that’s hard to miss.
