Circus Galop is a piece written by a Canadian pianist, Marc-André Hamelin, for self-playing pianos, and it was arranged for 10 hands by James Cozens, and performed by the 'Quintessence' piano quintet at the Wycombe Orpheus Festival of Young Musicians on March 4th, 2017 (where the group won first prize!). Following the circus theme, the arrangement also features juggling, playing from under the piano, and blind-folded playing!
Quintessence:
James Cozens
Mary-Anne Grego
Matthew Joslin
Megan Cave
William Rose
If anyone is interested in an improvisation based on a theme or a mood, or anything else, please message below or email jamescozensmusic@gmail.com if you have any requests!!!
Due to the ridiculous nature of the arrangement, we play the piece at this speed, but if you would like to hear it like the original midi, you can change the speed settings to 1.25x.
Hope you enjoy!!!!!
