Program Notes
Clowns can be silly, funny and sometimes even clumsy. Cleverly designed with lots of percussion, squawks, and glissandi, this work takes a lighthearted look at the ultimate entertainer. Combine these effects with the memorable melody and you have a recipe for fun for the whole band!
- Program Note from publisher
This hilarious look at the ultimate entertainer uses almost every percussion toy you can find except the kitchen sink -- but throw that in if you’d like! A myriad of humorous effects include clarinet and saxophone mouthpiece squawks, trombone glissandi, flutes choosing any note, and trumpets playing on mouthpieces. Combine this with a memorable melody and your beginning band students will have a recipe for endless fun!
