Barnstormers March - Orcino

The golden age of daredevil pilots comes to life in Len Orcino's delightful "Barnstormers March." This rousing march begins with a ratchet as the cranking of the propeller. The engine sputters to life and off the listener goes on his free ride into the air, as the music emulates the biplane and all its loops, dives, tricks and stunts. This open-air cockpit ride creates its thrills with musical devices. Parallel chromatic and diminished seventh chords will add new sounds to your bands vocabulary. You'll label this one a real "toe-tapper". It's sure to become a pops concert standard.

This carefully crafted arrangement is set in a range which is more appropriate for less experienced players, and some rhythms have been skillfully revised, while maintaining all of the power and effect of the original version. Now, a wider range of bands will have the opportunity to perform what is one of the most recognizable marches of all time. Don't miss this important addition to the band repertoire!

Barnum and Bailey's Fractured Favorite - Karl L. King

When Karl King was conducting circus bands, he would frequently edit his marches so the same composition could be used for contrasting acts (for example a lion act one time, and a trapeze act the next). In the same spirit, Thomas Leslie has creatively repurposed this familiar march to suit an imaginary clown act; complete with novelty percussion sounds and a few surprises sprinkled in. A bit outrageous, but definitely fun! Dur: c. 2:20
