This piece, written in 3/4 time throughout, evokes visions of dancing figures, their faces unrecognizable in the shadows created from the play of light at dusk. Moving from D minor to E minor, the eerie keys and accidentals provide intriguing effects. Teachable moments abound for low first finger on A and E and some high third finger in the upper strings, augmented intervals and extended patterns in all instruments, as well as slurs and hooked bowings. This piece can be performed any time of the year, or as an autumn or Halloween feature.

Picture a circus, with creepy clowns, an evil ringmaster, and fierce animals, and you get Dark Shadows by Ryan Meeboer: a fun, yet twisted piece filled with interesting melodies and animated accompaniments. The opening sets the dark tone of the piece through a simple melody played above a drone, accompanied by an interesting use of percussion before moving into the driving, circus style music. (2:45).

Something has happened at the circus... the magician has hypnotized the entire audience and the circus isn't quite right. After a strange and frightening beginning, there is a gentle, yet peculiar rain that falls. A creepy theme in the tenor saxophone (interrupted by some terrifying screams) moves into the trapeze artists theme where they seem to encounter an accident. A short funeral procession leads back into the lone sneaky saxophone before the magic box is opened. This magic slowly evolves into a return to normality and back to The Greatest Show on Earth! Experience this spine-chilling circus with Carnival of Shadows by David Marlatt. (6:00).
