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.

This highly programmatic work begins with an original waltz that sets a circus atmosphere. Soon after, the circus has packed up and the train begins to move to its next destination - but trouble looms in the distance and chaos ensues. Using two familiar melodies (Camptown Races and Over the Waves), this colorful work uses a myriad of clever effects as it juxtaposes circus music with impending disaster. Unbelievably creative!

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!

COME ONE AND ALL! Come see the great Circus Bamboni! This four movement work, with flexible four part instrumentation (+ Drum Kit), will amaze and charm you like no other. The first movement features the band as it tunes up and prepares for the show. Then the talented trapeze artists make an appearance as they fly through the sky high above the audience. The elephants parade around the ring with their very own Elephant Samba and the clowns follow leaving you in stitches! A thunderous chord and lots of applause bring the show to a breathtaking finale.

Willkommen im Zirkus Bamboni, der sich hier in vier kurzen Sätzen, komponiert für eine vierstimmig variable Besetzung mit Schlagzeug, präsentiert: Im ersten Satz stimmt das Zirkusorchester auf die Vorstellung ein. Dann schwingen die Trapezkünstler zu schwungvoller Musik durch die Zirkuskuppel. Die Elefanten beweisen mit der Elephant Samba Musikalität, bevor die Clowns die Manege in Aufruhr versetzen. Mit einem donnernden Schlussakkord, dem verdienten Applaus, endet die Vorstellung.

Benve nuti al Circo Bamboni che in questa composizione si presenta in quattro brevi movimenti, composti per strumentazione variabile a quattro voci con percussioni. Nel primo movimento l’orchestra intona gli strumenti, mentre nel secondo i trapezisti si esibiscono in volteggi spettacolari. In seguito gli elefanti mostrano la loro musicalit con Elephant Samba, prima che i pagliacci regalino risate e divertimento a tutti. Lo spettacolo si chiude con un potente accordo, il molto meritato applauso finale.

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).

This piece was inspired by a variety of music such as Broadway musicals, French cancan, and circus marches. A special rhythm pattern called “Ipponjime” (or “Sanbonjime”) is played by the percussion (3 + 3 + 3 + 1) in the first four measures.This is how people freely clap their hands when ceremonies or parties end in Japan. This custom of clapping hands reflects Japanese people’s spirit to readily move on to the next step. As the infectious work comes to its exciting conclusion every player shouts “yeah!”ensuri ng you will definitely hear rapturous applause!

Aan dit werk liggen diverse muzikale inspiratiebronnen ten grondslag, zoals Broadwaymusicals, de Franse cancan en circusmarsen. Een Japans ritmepatroon komt in de eerste vier maten naar voren in het slagwerk. Het centrale deel bevatsolo’s voor xylofoon en piccolo, die in de smaak zullen vallen bij uw publiek, zeker wanneer de solisten al improviserend een aantal technische staaltjes laten horen. Indien gewenst kan de instrumentatie worden gewijzigd. Na hetsologedeelte komt het eerste thema terug en volgt er een opbouw naar een opwindend slot, waar iedere speler “yeah!” roept. Met wat aanvullende showelementen zal het applaus nog uitbundiger zijn.

Zu diesem Werk ließ sich der Japaner Takamasa Sakai von einer breiten Palette an unterhaltsamen Musikstilen inspirieren, wie z.B. Broadway-Musicals, französischem Cancan und Zirkusmärschen. Aufregende Soli für Xylophon und Piccolo, Gelegenheiten zur Improvisation, ein traditionelles japanisches Klatsch-Rhythmusmuster sowie ein spannendes Finale sind die Zutaten zu einem Stück, das dem Publikum mit Sicherheit den im Titel versprochenen Applaus entlocken wird!

Applause! (“Applaudissements� �€) s’inspire de divers styles musicaux tels que les comédies musicales de Broadway, le célèbre French cancan et plusieurs airs de marches de cirque. Le développement est surprenant, rafraîchissant et plaisant la fois pour les musiciens et le public.
