Tivoli Circus Polka
Christian Tielman
Saxophone Quartet, flex scoring
Tivoli Circus Polka by Norwegian composer, Christian Teilman arranged for saxophone quartet with flexible scoring. This piece is named after Tivoli, the famous amusement park in Copenhagen. Like much of Teilmans light music, it has an attractive melody and jaunty rhythms.

- Part 1 for Soprano Sax (a. sx. 1 double)
- Part 2 for Alto Sax 2
- Part 2 for Tenor Sax 2 (a. sx. 2 double)

- Part 4 for Baritone Sax
- Part 4 for Tenor Sax 3/bass sax (b. sx. double)
Parts may be played in any combination.
Tivoli Circus Polka is a fun little piece that's not too challenging for intermediate players. The melody passes back and forth among the three upper voices while the bass line bounces along underneath. All parts have a moderate range with the alto sax 1 having a bit wider range. The piece stays at moderate tempo in 2/4 time throughout. It has a simple ABA form with sub-themes in each section. It opens in F minor, then modulates to F major. The B section is in B-flat major then returns to F major before the recap. With all repeats, performance time is about 2.25 minutes.
