Aerial Acrobatics is a musical composition for full orchestra consisting of three movements entitled: "Spinning," "Arabesques," and "Scherzo for Trapeze." The material is derived from the composer's experience as a dance accompanist and has been developed into a musical work intended to evoke images of dance movement in many genres including modern dance, ballet, and acrobatics. Aerial Acrobatics is intended for concert performance but suggests to the audience imaginary choreography involving a circus of performing artists vying for the center ring.
