Description
A humorous and curiously modulating arrangement for flute, bassoon and piano of my song based on the poem
"The learnèd hippopotamus", by Gavin Ewart.
[The learnèd hippopotamus
uses longs words like "dichtomous"
If they don't exist, he makes them up
The true scholars and the high-brows
Raise their supercilious eyebrows
But he blows bubbles at them all -
glug glug glup and glup!]
The score for the original song is also available on musicaneo:
