Step right up, ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, step right up! See the exotic, the strange, and the magical at the Cirque de L’étrange, or “Circus of the Strange.†This piece evokes a bygone era when circuses and carnivals provided people from all walks of life a chance to see human and animal oddities. Cirque de L'étrange is an original concert march written in standard march form, but its sound is anything but standard. This piece is playable by younger groups and is a great way to expose students to the march form and style without sounding like your typical march.Step right up ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, step right up! See the exotic, the strange, and the magical at the Cirque de L’étrange. Welcome to the Cirque de L’étrange, known in English as the “Circus of the Strange.†This piece evokes a time of a bygone era, a time when circuses and carnivals provided people from all walks of life a chance to see human and animal oddities that were sources of both delight and horror. While many of these sideshow attractions were deemed fraudulent, it did not deter the crowds from flocking to be shocked and awed. I have always held a special place in my heart for the showmanship of carnivals, because my grandfather dearly loved them. For much of his life, he worked at fairs and carnivals selling cotton candy and candy apples. A large portion of my days when growing up were spent running around fairgrounds and helping my grandfather with his stand. He imparted in me a love for the cunning, magic, and sheer joy that only carnivals and circuses can bring. In Cirque de L’étrange, I sought to capture the the mirthful, yet uncanny mood of the carnivals that I grew up exploring, thus transporting you to a different time.Cirque de L'étrange is an original concert march written in standard march form, but its sound is anything but standard. This piece is playable by younger groups, as it is a great way to expose students to the march form and style while not sounding like your typical march.Opening in D minor, the piece combines the playful feel of a march and a macabre tango. The second time through the First Strain (mm. 5-23), the upper woodwinds and bells add a second counter melody based in D harmonic minor, which heightens the peculiar nature of the piece. The Second Strain (mm. 24-43) by contrast, is a little more upbeat, thus evoking the magical ebullience of a circus, which is further highlighted by the xylophone part. The Second Strain ends in the key of F major and sets up the transition to the Trio in the key of G minor. The Trio (m. 44) begins with the G harmonic minor melody in the clarinets and a counter melody in the bassoon and tenor saxophone. The rest of the woodwinds and bells join in at m. 60 while the percussion adds a Gypsy-like feel with tambourine and triangle. At m. 76 the full band joins in the macabre parade with the trombones and baritones harmonizing the counter melody. The conclusion of the march has the upper woodwinds, adding a second counter melody complete with trills to bring the march to an exciting and dramatic finish.As the World’s Greatest Showman, P.T. Barnum, a man my grandfather greatly admired, once said “The noblest art is that of making others happy.†It is my hope that through this piece you will experience the thrill, delight, and fright that only carnivals can bring as you visit the Circus of the Strange!

The renowned Japanese composer Satoshi Yagisawa was given three separate tasks for this commission: it should be a short, attractive piece of music that is easy to listen to; it should be suitable as a choral exercise; and it should be fitting as anencore for the regular annual concert of the client. So it was that Yagisawa composed a glorious, warm-sounding work that satisfies all three requirements, and additionally serves as an excellent intermezzo in any concert.De Japanse Satoshi Yagisawa moest rekening houden met drie voorwaarden: het moest een kort, aansprekend muziekstuk worden dat goed in het gehoor zou liggen; het moest geschikt zijn als koraaloefening; en het zou een passende toegift moeten zijn voorde jaarconcerten van het opdrachtgevende orkest. Hij componeerde een warm klinkend werk dat aan alle drie de voorwaarden voldoet en ook nog eens uitstekend bruikbaar is als intermezzo tijdens een concert.Drei Vorgaben bekam Satoshi Yagisawa zu diesem Werk: Es sollte ein kurzes, ansprechendes Musikstück werden, das gut ins Ohr geht; es sollte sich als Choralübung eignen; und es sollte eine passende Zugabenummer für das Jahreskonzert des Auftraggeberswerden. Yagisawa komponierte daraufhin ein prächtiges, warm klingendes Werk, das alle drei Bedingungen erfüllt, und sich zudem auch ausgezeichnet als Intermezzo in einem Konzert eignet. La commande de cette œuvre comprenait trois conditions : la pièce devait être courte et mélodique ; elle devait pouvoir servir d’exercice choral pour l’ensemble de base ; et elle devait pouvoir être interprétée en tant que rappel lors de concertsannuels. Pour remplir ces conditions, Yagisawa a composé une pièce magnifiquement chaleureuse qu’il a intitulée L’Espoir, en signe de bienveillance l’égard des jeunes élèves. L’Espoir peut également servir d’interlude musical dans lecadre de votre concert.Tre sono state le consegne comunicate al compositore al momento dell’incarico: il brano doveva essere breve e melodico, servire da esercizio corale per l’organico di base e infine doveva prestarsi a essere eseguito come bis in occasione di concerti.Yagisawa ha composto così un brano molto caloroso che ha intitolato L’Espoir, in omaggio a tutti i giovani che si affacciano al mondo del musica. Un brano che può essere eseguito anche come interludio.
