Can anyone help me with this?

A new tune I've been working on; I'm having a devil of a time with the ornamentations! And what key is it in?

B-ware.

Based on a Cro-magnon skinning chant

Coming from that period, it would probably be modal, so let me see if I can remember my modes --

Dorian
Aeolian
Ionian
Mixolydian
Cambrian
Senonian
Pleistocene

That's it -- Pleistocene mode.

The score looks pretty straightforward to me. Perhaps we should ask Talasiga to explain the question about modes.

What's the difference between "Light and airy" and "Like a Dirigible"?

It would get expensive and messy to actually release the penguins at every performance. I'm wondering if this has been tampered with over the years.

Betty Crocker versus Led Zeppelin.

Hmm... No eating cake on the stairway to heaven, eh?

Maybe in the States you don't have the same chocolate bars as we have here. Why don't Polar Bears eat Penguins? They can't get the wrappers off.

I honestly don't think I've ever seen the words "gong duet" on sheet music before.

I highly doubt I ever will again, either.

Sounds like a bunch of "sheet" to me!

Where's that cute picture of the sleeping polar bear, with the penguin rising up over him, a set of cymbals in his open flippers?

Looks like some of the crazy stuff our choir does occasionally!

I love the "rests are imaginary" bit

"Have a nice day." "Gradually become agitated"

I'll have to print this one up for our organist.
