(visit http://www.carlschimmel.com to purchase score and parts) The Flower Snark develops via a series of geometric metamorphoses. No more than a dot in its first life stage, it matures rapidly into one of the more bizarre life forms known to science. While the Flower Snark’s name is descriptive of its ornate appearance in the adult phase, it belies the voracious and aggressive nature of the creature. Discovered in 1975 by Rufus Isaacs, the “J5” subspecies is the most studied; the ontogeny of the more primitive “J3” subspecies is illustrated in the score.
