Description
Cirque du Soleil, French for "Circus of the Sun," is a unique entertainment venture that has been thrilling audiences since its inception by two street performers over 20 years ago. This amazing fusion of circus, acrobatics, and theater has also produced a breathtaking repertoire of original music ranging in style from classical Impressionism to modern pop and rock.

More about this title

Why we love this

This collection spans nearly three decades of Cirque du Soleil's soundtracks, giving you access to music that balances theatrical storytelling with genuine melodic substance. Each arrangement preserves the dramatic character of the original while remaining pianistically accessible, making these songs work equally well as performance pieces or teaching tools that connect classical sensibilities to contemporary production values.

What to expect

These arrangements capture the kaleidoscopic emotional range of Cirque's artistic vision, moving from introspective beauty and haunting vulnerability to exuberant celebration and primal energy. You'll encounter music rooted in world traditions and languages alongside contemporary compositional language, all unified by a theatrical sensibility that treats every moment as deeply intentional.

Who it's for

Vocalists preparing for auditions, recitals, or performances that showcase contemporary theatrical music; pianists seeking repertoire that balances technique with narrative engagement; choir and theater programs looking to feature Cirque du Soleil selections in concert or revue settings.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the original recordings from each Cirque show to grasp the orchestral textures and emotional arcs; the piano part captures essential melodic and harmonic information, but the soundworld relies on your ability to voice the chords expressively.
  • Treat dynamics as a character tool rather than a technical exercise. These songs were written for theatrical contexts, so shape the accompaniment to support the vocalist's storytelling rather than simply providing harmonic support.
  • Pay attention to the rhythmic suppleness in pieces drawn from different cultural and musical traditions; some arrangements require flexibility in tempo to honor the original show's movement and pacing.

How to use it

Feature individual selections as part of a pops concert or collaborative theater program, or program several songs together to create a mini-retrospective of Cirque's creative evolution. This collection works beautifully as supplementary material for vocal students seeking performance repertoire that stretches beyond standard musical theater, or as a bridge between classical art song and contemporary entertainment music.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing through text in multiple languages and unfamiliar phonetic patterns
  • Collaborating between vocalist and pianist across non-traditional song structures
  • Interpreting theatrical music that blends world music idioms with contemporary harmonic language
  • Navigating rhythmic complexity and expressive freedom within a composed accompaniment
  • Building vocal stamina across a diverse emotional and stylistic range
