Brassband-This overture which parallels some of the traditional circus acts (for example trapeze jugglers clowns etc) is meant as an affectionate parody of a musical style all too readily neglected these days. Duration: 6 minutes. Manuscript form. (Also available for orchestra on hire only). 'Mark Goddard has a sense of humour impish in places and this was evident in his lighthearted pieces titled 'The Circus' and 'Pasodoble Demento'. - British Bandsman.

Ruders writes: 'gl0rIA' is subtitled: 'a relique for large chorus and 12 brass-instruments. At the same time it is an exercise for chorus because only vowels do occur or virtually no consonants are heard. The second part of the Missa Ordinarium the Gloria in Exelcis Deo makes the literary basis of 'g10rIA' but I employ only the vowels which in their full context form a 'non-language' - fragments of a tradition. A less dim vision of the 'severed body' appears in the center of the piece where the Domini Fili-section surfaces in its original shape. 'gl0rIA' is a 20th century composer’s hommage to the innocent faith of bygone days and a fanfare in honour of ClaudioMonteverdi; thus the ever present elaborations of the introduction to the Vespro Della Beate Vergine. Superimposed on the 'torso' of Latin I wedge in a quotation from the Spanish renaissance poet Gonzalo de Berceo’s 'Duelo de la Virgen' a surrealistic Lamento in which the Jews sent by Pilate to stand guard at the tomb of Christ mock and ridicule Maria Jesu mother. Thus a shadow has been cast over the jubilant religious appraisal of the past which today’s knowledge of atrocities and enormities engineered by Mankind has - alas - made so hard to repeat.
