Composed by Joe W. Moore III. Score and set of parts. Duration 4 minutes, 30 seconds. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.20080).

Denkyem is the West African Adinkra symbol for the crocodile.and refers to the animal's adaptability – the fact that it breathes air but lives under water. This idea of adaptability is used throughout the piece as the motivic material is passed from player to player, adapting to the instruments used and the ever-changing time signatures.
