Circus Suite (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Johnson, Stuart

All the excitement of the Big Top is contained within four short movements, but the safety net is well in place in the shape of ample cross-cuing. This is longer than the average "easy" piece and slightly more difficult, presenting a real musical challenge, but the minimal necessary instrumentation still applies, and of course Johnson, Stuart's superb scoring ensures its effectiveness. The second movement features the tuba, and the third movement features alto saxophone (cued into horn).
