Composed 1995. Duration 2 minutes, 17 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-2678-00. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-2678-00). A great new edition of Karl L. King’s classic circus piece with a happy ragtime beat. Originally written to accompany a trick horse act with the Barnum & Bailey’s Circus, the tune soon became so popular that it was used for a wide variety of acts including clown walk-a-bouts. Bob Foster’s arrangement retains all of the color and excitement of the original while making it playable with the modern concert band instrumentation. It’s not easy, but it sure is fun!
