The great Karl
King wrote many wonderful
marches, and The Caravan
Club is one of his most
interesting and unusual
works. Heavy and
ponderous at times, light
and frisky at others,
this march was used often
in the circus to
accompany tiger acts. An
ominous introduction
leads to a lumbering
first strain, followed by
a delightful contrasting,
almost ragtime-like
second strain. The trio
features a wonderful
melody with euphonium
countermelody, in the
style made so famous by
King. The weighty
breakstrain returns to a
minor key feel, and then
concludes with an
embellished version of
the trio. One of the
march King’s very
best! Immense!
