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!

‘Circus Delight’ is a five-part suite which is set, how could it be otherwise, in a big circus tent.

The suite starts with a part called ‘Entrance’. The orchestra, positioned above the entrance of the ring asks for the attention of the audience and then the ring announcer enters. The show can begin!
The elephants play a central role in the first act. These colossal grey animals are rather slow and perform their tricks in a moderate tempo. (‘Elephant Blues’)
How different are ‘The Acrobats’. At high speed they run, jump and fly through the ring, until ....... It gets very exciting. Fortunately, all’s well that ends well and they take their leave of the audienceat a trot.
Everyone knows, and yet it is mostly not spoken about, that when a clown has taken off his red nose and rubbed off his make-up, his face off-stage is not always a happy one. (‘Tears of the Clown’)
The piece ends on a cheerful note with ‘The Parade’, in which all the artists make their entrance in the ring once again to gratefully acknowledge the audience’s overwhelming applause.

‘Circus Delight’ is een vijfdelige suite die zich afspeelt in, hoe kan het ook anders, een grote circustent.

De suite begint met ‘Entrance’. Het orkest dat boven de ingang van de piste zit vraagt de aandacht van het publieken de spreekstalmeester komt binnen. De voorstelling kan beginnen.
De olifanten staan centraal in de eerste act. De grote grijze kolossen zijn niet de snelste dieren en vertonen hun kunsten in een rustig tempo. (‘ElephantBlues’)
Bij ‘The Acrobats’ is dat wel even anders. In rap tempo hollen, springen en vliegen ze door de piste totdat ... het heel spannend wordt. Maar het gaat gelukkig goed en in snel tempo nemen ze afscheid van het publiek.
Iedereen weet het en toch, er wordt meestal niet over gesproken dat wanneer de clown na de voorstelling zijn rode neus en schmink afdoet, we zien dat het gezicht van de clown niet altijd lacht. (‘Tears of the Clown’)
We sluiten vrolijk af met ‘The Parade’ waarin alle artiesten nog een keer in de piste voorbijkomen, om het overweldigende applaus dankbaar in ontvangst te nemen.

The Ringmaster, by Jon Bubbett, is a spirited, fun-loving march written in the circus style of those composed in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Its happy and carefree energy brings back memories of three-ring circuses, trapeze artists, and clowns. As the Master of Ceremonies, the ringmaster was decked out in a bright red tailcoat trimmed in gold and a black top hat. Their job was to direct the audience's attention to the various rings where the acts took place, sometimes interact with the clowns, and build excitement for the next act. The Ringmaster reminds us of the frenetic energy of the circus, meant for ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages! (2:30).

Circus Vignettes is a Brass ensemble piece comprised of several scenes one might have expected to encounter at a circus at the height of their popularity. Each vignette seeks to capture a particular feeling, such as the buzzing excitement of arriving at the Circus in At the Midway, the delicateness of witnessing the Flea Circus, the awesome power of The Strongman, and the breathless tension built up during the world-famous Bed of Nails! Some of the vignettes also explore the less savory aspects of the Circus' past, including the macabre showroom of anatomical oddities housed in jars of formaldehyde known as Pickled Punks, and the desire to draw crowds by any means necessary, often cobbling together real and unique attractions such as the Fiji Mermaid.
All of the vignettes require some acrobatic ability of each of the players, and performers will find moments throughout the piece in which to showcase their skill. It is recommended to perform the vignettes as a complete work, however some of the movements stand well on their own if desired.
