The kid in each of us loves the circus. Probably the finest musical work ever written to celebrate the "Greatest Show on Earth" is Karl King's classic march. Jerry Brubaker has carefully extracted the technical difficulties while keeping the most recognizable integrity of the work. Your audience will immediately recognize each of the beloved melodies. The spirit of the scoring is superlative! (1:56)
Grade 2.0 Here is a delightful new march for young bands. Written in traditional march style there are strong melodies and counterlines, a trio featuring the clarinets, a percussion interlude and a rousing finish.
Written to honor Great Britain, this march plays tribute to remarkable contribution to the art of music this island kingdom has made over the centuries. This lyrical and majestic march reflects the rich melodic traditions of English folk songs and hymn tunes, which influences such masters as Henry Purcell, Edward Elgar and Gustav Golst.

Marches are one of the earliest known musical forms. Originally, marches were used for the orderly movement of military troops but entered the realm of "art music" in the 17th Century. Many of the world's finest composers have written marches. Some of these march composers are Byrd, Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner, Shostakovich, and Vaughn Williams. Perhaps the most well-known march composer was john Philip Sousa ("The March King"), who is credited with composing 136 marches.
A march is a source of enjoyment for nearly everyone. For many, the highlight of a concert is the march, for it often portrays the excitement and energy of a celebration. March for a Celebration was composed in this spirit of celebration.
