Circusmuziek [like Debussy in Children's Corner] also paints pictures with sound, though the work was composed specifically for the reed quintet instrumentation. The seven short vignettes combine the colors of each reed instrument to create newer and newer colors each passing moment. They are decidedly brighter than those of Debussy, but leave just as much to the listener to decide what images the composer conjures.Akropolis
