Product Description

Entry of the Gladiators is probably the best known work by Czech composer Julius Fucik (1872-1916) primarily because of its adoption as an upbeat screamer march, heralding the arrival of circus clowns.  In fact, Fuciks original title for the work was Grande Marche Chromatique, because the piece makes frequent use of chromatic passages.  He later substituted Entry of the Gladiators because of a personal interest in Roman history.  Fucik intended the work to be played at a standard march tempo, though it is generally performed significantly faster in the clowns context!

This arrangement for mixed woodwind duo of oboe and bassoon makes an ideal finale to a short recital.  The oboe part is also playable by flute.
