Monkey Business
This piece is a vivid musical description of monkeys. Small monkeys are like little acrobats. They swing and turn upside down, hanging from a branch with one hand, while they reach for food with the other. They jump from branch to branch, moving quickly up and down, playing games, and teasing each other.
