Program Notes
Karl Lawrence King (1892-1972), one of the most popular march composers of all time, had a distinguished career as a euphonium player and conductor with community and circus bands. He began composing at the age of fourteen and two years later had his first compositions accepted for publication. Today he is the best known for the very difficult marches he composed for circus bands. In addition to these, King composed marches for professional caliber community bands (ex. The Melody Shop) and university bands (Michigan On Parade and Hawkeye Glory, among others).
Composed in 1913 at the request of the Barnum & Bailey’s Circus Band director Ned Brill when King joined the band, this is one of the most famous circus marches ever written. Frederick Fennell described the march as “the epitome of the old circus, where everything seemed possible.”
