Price £24.50

CIRCUS SUITE is in five movements, each one describing a different aspect of "The Greatest Show on Earth".

The first movement is a spirited and cheerful "March". In "Lions and Tigers", one hears the big cats slinking, roaring and pouncing to the cracks of the whip. The great, majestic "Elephants" come next, making their stately progress across the arena, followed b the airy grace and sinuous beauty of "The Flying Trapeze". "Clowns", everyone's favourites, bring the suite to a whimsical, puckish conclusion.

CIRCUS SUITE was commissioned by and written for the editor of "The Complete Hornist", who recorded it in January of 1990, and gave its first public performance in March, 1990

Reviews

This suite is definitely a fun piece to play. As you play the various movements you can see in your head the various portions of the circus being depicted. The difficulty level for the middle movements is not very high, but the first and final movements are. They are fast and somewhat technical. The final has multiple meter switches that are difficult to catch. It is definitely worth the time though to work up these movements, have fun playing them, and remember the circus you enjoyed as a kid.
