Frith - THE BIG TOP, A Circus Suite for Brass QuintetTHE BIG TOP, is a twelve minute work in eight movements for Brass Quintet inspired by the excitement, thrill and expectation of the circus. Although Mr. Frith has never attended a circus personally, the magic of them was conveyed to him through television shows and films he watched as a boy.
