CIRCUS OVERTURE
TOCH was a very versatile student of medicine and philosophy who taught himself music by studying the great masterpieces. He won many prizes for his works and came to the United States from his native Germany in 1940. He has written many different kinds of music from ballet to music for films. CIRCUS OVERTURE is a short lively work which not only captures the spirit of the circus musically, but describes it literally as well. A perky circus march theme opens the overture, then threads in and out to hold the piece together. In the meantime, two circus pictures are portrayed: wild beasts with their tamer and clowns in a falling ladder stunt. The march theme returns for a final time to bring the work to a rousing conclusion.
