A great new edition of Karl L. King’s classic circus piece with a happy ragtime beat. Originally written to accompany a trick horse act with the Barnum & Bailey’s Circus, the tune soon became so popular that it was used for a wide variety of acts including clown walk-a-bouts. Bob Foster’s arrangement retains all of the color and excitement of the original while making it playable with the modern concert band instrumentation. It’s not easy, but it sure is fun!

Duration 2 minutes, 30 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-4600-75. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-4600-75).

A ponderous and dramatic march from the King of all march composers! Composed for King's friend Merle Evans, bandmaster for the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus, Invictus (which means unconquerable) lives up to its title! After a ponderous minor-key first section featuring low brass and woodwinds, the second features an exciting circusy sound. The trio is followed by a return to the minor key, and ends with a rock-solid final section. An excellent choice for more advanced high school, college, and adult bands, Invictus will impress audiences and engage performers from top to bottom!

De Oostenrijkse componist Franz von Suppé is vooral bekend geworden met de ouverture bij de klucht Dichter und Bauer (1846) van Karl Elmar en met Leichte Kavallerie (1866). Ook de ouverture bij het wat minder bekendeblijspel Ein Morgen, ein Mittag und ein Abend in Wien (1844) is nog steeds geliefd. Het stuk begint en eindigt kleurrijk en uitbundig, het middendeel is lyrisch. Deze vakkundige transcriptie voor harmonieorkest is van dehand van Tohru Takahashi.

Gegen den Willen seines Vaters studierte der junge Franz von Suppé Komposition und machte die Musik tatsächlich auch zu seinem Beruf. Aus Sicht seines Publikums, das heute noch in großer Zahl vor allem seine Operetten bewundert, ein weiser Entschluss! Die Komödie Ein Morgen, ein Mittag und ein Abend in Wien wird im Ganzen heute zwar seltener gespielt - ganz im Gegensatz zur ihrer beliebten Ouvertüre, die hier in einer ausgezeichneten Transkription für Blasorchester vorliegt.

Malgré l’opposition de ses parents, Franz von Suppé (1819-1895) commence composer dès son plus jeune ge. Plus tard, ils décident de lui faire suivre des études de droit l’Université de Padoue en Italie mais sans grand résultat. Franz von Suppé reste passionné par la musique, et passe l’essentiel de son temps aller voir des opéras Milan tout en continuant composer et faire de la musique. la mort de son père, il s’installe définitivement Vienne avec sa mère, pour y étudier la composition. Il accède rapidement au poste de chef d’orchestre du Theater an der Wien, poste qu’il occupe jusqu’en 1862, puis est nommé, en 1865, la tête de l’Orchestre duCarltheater (également appelé Theater in der Leopoldstadt). Franz von Suppé compose durant toute sa vie. Il accède au faîte de la gloire avec ses opérettes viennoises et sa musique instrumentale. Suppé maîtrise parfaitement l’art de combiner les styles d’écriture propres la musique française et viennoise. Parmi ses œuvres célèbres, on peut citer l’ouverture Dichter und Bauer (Poète et Paysan), composée en 1846 pour la comédie éponyme de Karl Elmar, et Die leichte Kavallerie (Cavalerie légère - 1866).Si l’ouverture Ein Morgen, ein Mittag und ein Abend in Wien (Matin, midi et soir Vienne - 1844) est un peu moins connue, elle reste néanmoins très appréciée du public. Les mesures d’ouverture et de clôture sont pleines de couleurs et de fougue tandis que la partie centrale est lyrique. Tohru Takahashi a réalisé cette excellente transcription pour Orchestre d’Harmonie.
