Circus Overture: Into the Eighth Decade for Band
Composers:- Bolcom, William
Duration: 4
Description:
Bolcom�s curtain raiser, Circus Overture, was written in honor of Slatkin�s 70th and premiered by the conductor and Boston Symphony, which commissioned it. It�s a 5-minute riot, full of marching evocations of the midway – or perhaps the parade of life? – along with lickety -split wind lines, exaggerated tempo changes and a snippet of Ellingtonian talking brass, including a muted trombone growling out a reference to Chopin�s �Funeral March.� That�s vintage Bolcom wit: Slatkin, who has championed the Ann Arbor composer for decades, specifically asked him not to quote �Happy Birthday.� The Detroit Free Press, Oct. 10, 2014. Subtitled “Into the Eighth Decade,” versions for both orchestra and band are available for rent.
