Inspired by the gift of a frog guiro as well as the works of Percy Grainger, composer Standridge has created a delightful aural visit to an imaginary pond. In creating this �amphibious� work, the composer has used melodies that involve small �leaps� representing the frogs jumping about in their pond, trills representing buzzing insects, and of course the above-mentioned frog guiro. Your students and audience will revel in the delightful aural painting of the life of a pond.
