Program Notes
Galop – Go! could easily be confused with another well-known circus song, Go, Galop by Will Huff, a pseudonym of celebrated bandmaster Henry Fillmore. Reminiscent of many college fight songs, active Galop – Go! is, as the name suggests, a fast-paced galop, a lively double – or more – dance tending toward the wild. Circuses used galops to create excitement and often performed them in short bursts to accompany specific feats or movements, in this case being used as a "playoff" as wild animals returned to their cages. (This galop was used for elephant acts.)
Published in 1915, Galop – Go! was created by another top bandmaster, Fred A. Jewell (1875-1936) at a time he was not on the go with a major touring circus. He had been director of the band for the Barnum & Bailey Circus from 1908 to 1910, and was about to do the same for the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus in 1916-1917.
