George Lloyd - The Transformation of that Naked Ape
Piano Solo.
This 21-minute work for solo piano is dedicated to George Lloyd’s wife, Nancy,
who nursed him back to health after traumatic injury sustained when HMS Trinidad was torpedoed in the Arctic.
The title refers to the book The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris, and George Lloyd stated that he 'wished to be counted among those who believed that we humans are more than superior animals, and that ‘another dimension must be added to explain our natures’ questioning Morris’s assertions that women played “little or no part in the evolutionary saga.”
