Kurt has created a sequel to his amazing “Carousel Funhouse” which was released in 2023.
He describes this work as “cabaret rhythm meets Joplin rag” and it is thoroughly engaging, clever, delightful, and beautifully crafted. It has many stopped sounds including table mallet, mart, mart-lift and RT, all of which should be executed cleanly and without too much force so the music just dances along – somewhat like a child happily skipping through the carnival that came to town. Dynamics add important expression to this work as do nicely placed LVs and Sk, and the addition of handchimes with the occasional vibrato – all add to the magic. This music will fascinate your audience and ringers are certain to enjoy playing this delightful work!
