Song information
Zoomorphisms refers to having the shape, form, or likeness of an animal; the use of animal forms in symbolism, literature, or representation. The twelfth in a series of miniatures, this is the Elephant Graveyard. I am no ethnomusicologist, likely the best I can hope for with this style is pastiche.

Dedicated to the i-comper, Fat Chance/Geo (George Couts), who was an ardent supporter of my music as well as many i-compers. This piece was played at his memorial service.

A proper tribute to a fellow musician. I really liked this piece. The woodwinds and the cool groove you create with the percussion. I love it

 A mellow work that gradually builds up to a fine tribute. Well done John.
