Elephants and Aerialists David W. Gorham

The circus is back in town and two of the most popular features are on full musical display. You'll hear the majestic elephants as they make their ponderous and regal procession around the ring. After their grand entrance you'll be enthralled by the grace of the high-flying trapeze artists as they perform their daring tricks, high above the spellbound audience. The contrasting styles provide an entertaining as well as educational work that is both fun to perform and listen to. A delightful addition to the composer's "Carnival" series of selections including Step Right Up, The Fortune Teller's Daughter and Tightrope Walker.
