Product Description

John Corigliano's "Symphony No. 3 'Circus Maximus' & Gazebo Dances" is a captivating exploration of modern wind ensemble repertoire, released on Naxos in 2009. This album showcases Corigliano's mastery of orchestration and his ability to create vivid, evocative musical landscapes. The centerpiece of the album is the sprawling Symphony No. 3, subtitled "Circus Maximus," a grand, dramatic work that takes inspiration from the ancient Roman chariot races. The symphony is divided into eight movements, each offering a distinct mood and atmosphere, from the triumphant "Introitus" to the introspective "Prayer" and the exhilarating finale, "Coda 'Veritas'."

Complementing the symphony are the "Gazebo Dances," a suite of four movements that originally premiered as a ballet. This version, arranged for wind ensemble, retains the playful, whimsical character of the original, with each movement—Overture, Waltz, Adagio, and Tarantella—offering a unique blend of charm and sophistication.

With a total runtime of 52 minutes, this album is a testament to Corigliano's inventive compositional voice and his deep understanding of the wind ensemble's capabilities. Whether you're a longtime fan of Corigliano's work or a newcomer to his music, this album offers a rich, rewarding listening experience that highlights the power and versatility of the wind ensemble.
