Origami Symphony No. 9: Ode to Australia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781877656620)

Welcome to the world premier of the Ninth Origami Symphony! Modeled after a musical symphony in four movements, many themes reveal the possibilities of origami. Australian mammals and birds along with colorful cubes and backyard bugs are explored in beautiful detail.

Contained in this work are 35 original models, each a masterpiece by origami master John Montroll. Each model can be folded from a single square using standard origami paper. Beautiful and diverse Australian birds and mammals fill the first two movements. Many of the birds have color-change patterns. Fancy duo-colored cubes are shown in the minuet of the third movement. The fourth movement captures detailed, delicate and complex bugs.

First Movement: Allegro: Australian Mammals Hopping Around.

Second Movement: Andante: Australian Birds Hopping Around.

Third Movement: Minuet of Colorful Cubes with a Trio of Shapes Based on Cubes.

Fourth Movement: Allegro: The Buzzing of Backyard Bugs.
