Carnival of Shadows, Concert Band, Grade 3.5

Something has happened at the circus… the magician has hypnotized the entire audience and the circus isnt quite right. After a strange and frightening beginning, there is a gentle, yet peculiar, rain that falls. A creepy theme in the tenor saxophone (interrupted by some terrifying screams) moves into the trapeze artists theme where they seem to encounter an accident. A short funeral procession leads back into the lone sneaky saxophone before the magic box is opened. This magic slowly evolves into a return to normality and back to The Greatest Show On Earth!
