Program Notes
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.
