| Added by magataganm, 02 Jan 2016 Julius Fučík (pronounced "Foo-chick") was a Czech composer who lived from 1872 -- 1916 and was a conductor of military bands. Today his marches are still played as patriotic music in the Czech Republic. However, his worldwide reputation rests on this one work: the Opus 68 march, the Entrance of the Gladiators (Vjezd gladiátorů), which is universally recognized, often under the title "Thunder and Blazes", as one of the most popular theme tunes for circus clowns. "Entrance of the Gladiators" or "Entry of the Gladiators" was originally titled it "Grande Marche Chromatique," reflecting the use of chromatic scales throughout the piece, but changed the title based on his personal interest in the Roman Empire. The piece is a little longer than this but the rest is not so familiar to most people. Although originally created for band, I created this arrangement for Saxophone Quartet (Soprano, Alto, Tenor & Baritone). Sheet central : | Entée des Gladiateurs (10 sheet music) | | |||
