THE BIG TOP , is a 12 minute work in 8 movements for Brass Quintet inspired by the excitement, thrill and expectation of the circus. Although Mr. Frith has never attended a circus personally, the magic of them was conveyed to him through television shows and films he watched as a boy. In 2009 he added to the first movement, Circus Clowns, which was composed years before and arranged the entire suite for Brass Quintet. The 8 movements are titled as follows: 1. CIRCUS CLOWNS 2. THE TRICK CYCLIST 3. PEEP-SHOW PRINCESS 4. ELEPHANTS ON PARADE 5. BARE-BACK RIDER 6. TRAPEZE ARTIST 7. THE TUMBLERS 8. GRAND FINALE.

Fossils and Finale combines two of the better-known movements from the humorous Carnival of the Animals. This fourteen-movement suite by Camille Saint-Saëns featured musical depictions of animals such as The Swan and The Elephant, and was written for a private performance with young students in mind. While the composer didn't feel it was serious enough to be performed during his lifetime, it has since gone on to become a beloved classical-musical favorite. In this arrangement, the quirky Fossils with optional xylophone is written to be more accessible for intermediate students, segueing seamlessly into the circus-like Finale. Both movements feature bright, fun melodies within playable ranges and keys for the developing ensemble and the original piano part integrated into the string parts.
