The circus is in town! Come and join the fun, as we present your band in a circus extravaganza. A Day at the Circus takes you on a musical tour where you will meet clowns who will make you laugh, breathtaking acrobats, lion tamers and even the Human Cannonball. So sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

S’il est un souvenir d’enfance qui marque profondément notre mémoire, c’est bien celui de la première rencontre avec le monde du cirque. Quoi de plus fascinant que ce monde de couleurs et de sons, ces mélanges de parfums qui flottent dans les airs du grand chapiteau. Dans cette fantaisie, James Curnow nous dépeint avec réalisme les instants magiques d’une journée au cirque. Après une courte introduction en fanfare, le spectacle commence. Les artistes présentent des numéros élaborés avec précision sur une musique savamment orchestrée. Les trapézistes et les voltigeurs rivalisent d’audace, la ménagerie est impressionnante et le grand finale est l’ultime occasion de remercier pardes applaudissements nourris l’ensemble de la troupe.Une partie narrative (en français) permettra votre Monsieur Loyal de diriger la mise en scène et de briller sous les feux de la rampe.

With a strong sense of loyalty and determination, this text from the Book of Ruth is a favorite choice for services of commitment or weddings. This setting is moving, poignant, and expressive, with gentle melodic lines, moments of dissonance, and warm harmonies to embrace the refrain, Wherever you go, I will go..

This lighthearted quodlibet was commissioned by ASTA and premiered at the 2015 conference. It provides a fabulous tool to introduce your students to key musical themes across time. The score plays off of the musician's nocturnal mind to combine twelve historic themes by condensing and expanding them the way our subconscious mind often toys with daytime experiences. In total, this composition celebrates the string player's full potential: Where loyalty to the written note serves the imagination's creative playground. What is composition, if not a grand improvisation captured in a snapshot?.
I am a firm advocate for creative conducting, so I encourage you to experiment with changes in tempi to segue between themes, and/or to take musical liberty with the actual transitions between the themes, as long as there is still a feeling of forward momentum.If you want to fulfill the theatricality of the score, it would be fabulous to look at the audience (with a raised eyebrow, or a smile on your face, or whatever facial expression you think suits these moments in the score) at m. 14 and again at m. 21.In addition, it will help to conduct with wider gestures when themes change or the volume suddenly drops or swells. This will help the audience understand that these sudden changes between themes or dynamics are intended and will also help the students highlight those spots (particularly across the complex thematic shifts between mm. 62 and 94).The grandiosity from m. 110 through the end can be pushed to its zenith, particularly if you control prior forte settings such that the end gets the grand push.CAS91FThemes in String Dreams include:1.
