2/2: "Massive Elves" consists of four sections, each using an algorithmic variation on the initial interpretation of "Berklee" using an array to reorder the pitches.

The final ingredient was the sleigh bells and xylophone that instantly turns any piece of music, even atonal, into "holiday" music.

That's the Allman Brothers.

By the way, @bpl.boston.gov is also a great place for Zappaphiles as they have a collection of Zappa scores available in the reading room of the Arts section though “Dupree’s Paradise”, which I skimmed some years ago, no longer appears in the website database.

So instead of working on “Zappacrite” on the first day of Zappadan, I took a detour and began work on a piece with the working title of “Copley Square Dance”. Still a work in progress, the current revision can be heard as a bonus track on Apostolatus.
