Program Notes
When one thinks of the term “Circus”, it can be associated with a travelling company of entertainers with trained animals (à la cirque du soleil), or a frenetic and disorganized display of disturbing nature. The variations are similar to the former definition, in that it serves to embody the kaleidoscopic nature of a performing troupe, as the performer takes on different roles according to the mood of the variation. The theme for the piece comes from another work I wrote when I was 14, and from there, I wrote 12 variations in a variety of styles.
