Fillmore-Circus Bee arr. Dittgen (SP)-B/V/X/4M/4T/P

The Circus Bee by Henry Fillmore arranged for 10 member percussion ensemble by Brandon Dittgen. This piece is a circus march composed by Fillmore in February 1908. The march is named after an imaginary circus newspaper and reflects Fillmore's personal enthusiasm for the excitement and sounds of the Big Top. Traditionally scored as a technical showcase for concert band, this arrangement for percussion ensemble is a great feature for mallet players.
