In three movements, we explore the life of Gaius
Julius Caesar with great historic accuracy, from his rise to the Roman Office,
to Egypt, back to his tyranny in Rome. This show has unlimited visual potential
and will easily carry the theme from beginning to end. The small bits of
narration throughout add another element to the perfomance, making your
audience feel like they are part of the show.
Rise to Office, War, Dictatorship
(Mvt. 1) - Through the movement, Caesar's rise to office and victory in
Gaul lead the way to his self declaration of power. Cleopatra
(Mvt. 2) - Caesar chases his enemy Pompey to Egypt where he meets Cleopatra
and they bear a child. The preferable solo instrument here is soprano
saxophone. Death to the Tyrant (Mvt. 3) - Caesar returns from Egypt and
declares himself dictator for life. At this point, the Roman Senators decide
they must destroy Caesar for the good of the republic. Percussion by Kevin Thornburn and Sean
Combes.
