Song information
These are a series of short orchestral movements which are meant to emulate cartoon music. Cartoon music of the 1940s and 1950s is high art in my books. It was orchestral, and the orchestration was pretty amazing. In some ways, I was introduced to classical music when watching Saturday morning cartoons.

These four little orchestral pieces have more instruments used than the kitchen sink (although there may be a kitchen sink to be heard!) Playing with sounds and satire is fun....pass me the anvil (yes, there is an anvil in the music).

Yeah each time you have more than 8' you have to reduce the bit rate. This is an amazing composition John, cannot imagine the hours spent to produce such pieces. This put me back in the days when I loved watching at cartoons (specially bip bip and the coyote).

Fantastic work. I totally enjoyed everyone. I also always loved cartoons. Especially the ones from 40s and 50s and the cool music that was used. Well done

Manic, soulful, frightening, each is distinctive and each offers pleasures.  Nicely done John.
