Description:
As a standalone performance piece; Dorff's A Treeful of Monkeys is a delightful telling of an African folk tale; complete with narration. The instrumental ensemble describes a hat seller; a good number of hats; and a good number of monkeys up in the trees with those hats. Commissioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra Association; however; A Treeful of Monkeys is also an opportunity to introduce musical elements to young students; with Dorff's suggested educational objectives and performance tips suitable for classroom use.
