Specific information available for subscribers.
"A carnival of overlooked creatures." Humorous verses are provided, presumably to be read prior to each movement. The narrator will need to approximate a Boston accent to make some of the rhymes work. (A French translation of the verses is also available.)
Audience participation in mvt XII (an audience-leader is needed).
