A suite for brass quintet or ten-piece entitled CIRCUS.
This piece has 6 movements as follows:
1. Entry Parade - fanfare/march style
2. Clowns - Irregular time signatures; discordant elements
3. Trapeze - A waltz 3/4 style with occasional 7/8 sections for that element of "uncertainty"
4. Acrobats - Quick 2/4 scherzo with lots of florid quaver and semi-quaver passages
5. Jugglers - Essence of 3, 4 or 5 ball juggling reflected in the time signatures of 3/8 4/4 and 5/8
6. Finale - Reprise of the opening movement
The brass group compositions will include parts for a comprehensive percussion section including: xylophone, glockenspiel, vibraphone, 5x temple blocks, 3x tom toms, drum kit, timpani
