£71.50The Haunted Carousel - Joseph Eidson
The Haunted Carousel is a slightly off-kilter waltz that introduces young players to the concept of meter changes without being overly complex. Imagine a circus that only comes to life at midnight, where tents glow in the darkness while ghostly figures appear and disappear. Haunting music comes from a carousel that turns with faint images on the dusty seats, breaking the eerie silence of the night. As the piece ends, the coda slowly fades out with the rising sun and the circus fades like a distant dream.
