27/10/96 for 4 FlutesThe protozoans, of which there are over 30,000 species, are primitive, single-celled organisms, of which the best known example is probably the amoeba. Paramecium caudatum is one of the most common freshwater ciliates. The nasty-sounding Plasmodium virax is the malaria parasite; like many parasites it has a complex life-cycle involving several hosts, and exists in several forms. Sponges are the most primitive group of multi-cellular animals. The Bath Sponge Euspongia mollissima finds itself in this piece on the strength of it's mellow name. |
Sounds(18k; duration 2 mins)How this MIDI demo sounds is entirely up to your computer, and it may not play at all on some systems! On the plus side, its a very small file which will play the whole of the second movement. An extract from the first flute part is shown below. |
Duration ~6'00
First performed by Nicola Budd, Alexander Hay, John Hall & Rosalind Sangster, 29/5/98, and on subsequent occasions by a number of other groups.
