“Fren
ch composer, Pierre Max
Dubois (1930-1995)
significantly contributed
to the wind repertoire.
Circus Parade Duo for
Alto Saxophone or
Clarinet and Drums was
published in 1965 and
remains prominent as a
more unusual addition to
the ensemble repertoire.
Dubois' music is
characteristically
light-hearted with
unusual harmonic and
melodic textures. Circus
Parade Duo reflects
Dubois' compositional
characteristics with a
typical performance
lasting about fifteen
minutes. Dubois' work is
suitable for advanced
performers, addressing
virtuosic features, such
as complex rhythms,
constant changes of time
signature, chromaticism,
and exploitation of the
ensemble, amongst other
aspects. Circus Parade
Duo is essential to the
advanced Alto Saxophone,
Clarinet and Percussion
repertoire as Dubois'
work makes for an
exciting, varied and
enjoyable performance for
players and audiences
alike.&rdquo.
