Beschrijving

Jef Penders has also been tempted to write a circus music wuite. This one has five parts:

1. Grand Entry of the Troupe – all the artists greet the audience in a big welcome parade.

2. The Lippizaner Horses – a therilling dressage act with the splendid famous shite Austrian horses

3. Beaty on the Trapezium – a breathtaking act high above the public.

4. The Elephant Act – like Strawinsky, Penders was inspired by the elegant ballet of the heavy-weights.

5. Round of the Clowns and Finale – the clowns’ pranks make the people laugh. The Grand Finale pleases the ears as well as the eyes.
