Jungle

Fourteen hand-selected aspiring composers flock to Oceantown to drink from the fountain of musical knowledge of her eminence, Miss Boulangerie. We hear sixteen compositions which derive their inspiration from aspects of The Jungle, that tangled mass of vegetation and dense diversity which is also a metaphor for lawlessness and beauty. We are grateful to today’s sponsor: Jack’s Jungle Supply.
