Dehaske Johow Joachim - Circus Time - Saxophone Alto + CD

Summary of This Score

The curtain rises, the orchestra launches into the opening march, and the audience's excitement builds: with Circus Time, everything is designed to create a lively and colorful atmosphere, just like under a big top. Between the opening march and the finale, the program strings together contrasting scenes where one can imagine daring acrobats, comedic clowns, oriental dancers, jugglers, and snake charmers taking turns on the ring. This musical narration makes the score particularly enjoyable to play and listen to, both in rehearsal and performance.

Designed to multiply playing possibilities, Circus Time allows the music to be organized in various ways: musicians can take turns, respond to each other from one piece to another, or come together to form a true ensemble. The work also exists in versions adapted for other instruments (in the same key), opening the door to numerous combinations and a flexible instrumentation depending on the available players.

The provided compact disc is a major asset for progress: it offers complete versions of the pieces to hear the musical intention, as well as accompaniment tracks to work on autonomy, rhythmic accuracy, and precise entrances. The chord symbols (in real sounds) placed above the staff facilitate adding harmonic accompaniment, whether to enrich a recital, support a student, or give more breadth to a small group with guitar and/or piano.

To go further in staging, this score is perfectly suited for an educational project: sets, props, and the sequencing of acts can transform the musical performance into a true "show." Whether for a class, a music school, an ensemble workshop, or an event, let the show begin and let the ring light up to the sound of Circus Time !
