Flight of the Borscht

Here's one to make you smile, dance, and maybe even hop onto a tightrope in the sky. This quick-paced classical number was inspired by Russian folk music, Barnum & Bailey, Rachmaninoff, and even Hip Tanaka of Kirby & Nintendo fame. Piano, percussion, horns and strings become more and more daring as this tune winds its way to a zany finale.

INSTRUMENTATION: Features classical piano, marching snare, cymbals, horn section, strings, and various percussion. A great pick to establish a circus vibe or lighthearted mood, particularly in an eastern folk-culture flavor.
