Description

This piece was influenced by Debussy’s Prelude No. 12 in book one entitled “Minstrels.” While playing Debussy’s piece, I could see the small monkey hopping from limb to limb in the Rainforest Canopy. The Golden Lion Tamarin can reach 6 to 10 inches in length and weigh between 17 to 24 pounds. They have three physical characteristics that give them their name: long tails of 12 to 15 inches, golden fur and a lion’s mane around the face. 90% of their habitat has been destroyed as a result of deforestation and increased agriculture. There are only 1500 Golden Lion Tamarins left in the wild.

This piece provides a study of the Chromatic and Whole Tone Scales as well as quick hand crossings throughout.

Duration: 3 minutes 30 seconds
