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. Acts include a unique combination of individual storylines, dance and opera performances, contortionists, jugglers, trapeze artists and many other talented performers, all set to the tune of live music. While performances do not feature the animals typically found in a regular circus, the modern style of Cirque du Soleil has earned it recognition as one of the world's best circuses for their use of extreme creativity, talented performers, and their ability to constantly evolve shows to maintain their enthralling nature.

Alfred now introduces the music to some of Cirque du Soleil's most popular songs, derived from a variety of show soundtracks. Songs come complete with lyrics, melody line, and chord changes with professionally arranged piano accompaniment.

More about this title

About the Artist: Cirque Du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil emerged from a vision of two street performers in Quebec in 1984 and transformed into a global entertainment phenomenon that has captivated millions. The company's approach to theatrical music composition and arrangement draws from diverse cultural traditions, blending orchestral sophistication with contemporary production values to create immersive soundscapes that support acrobatics, dance, and visual spectacle.

The composers and arrangers working within the Cirque du Soleil creative team have become masters of writing music that serves narrative and physical performance simultaneously. Their output spans multiple shows touring worldwide, each with a distinct musical identity that reflects the cultural themes and artistic vision of its production.

Why we love this

This collection brings professional-grade theatrical vocal music into the studio and rehearsal space with accessible piano arrangements and full chord symbols. Musicians appreciate both the stylistic variety across shows and the production-ready quality of each arrangement, making these pieces rewarding to learn and genuinely exciting to perform.

What to expect

These songs carry the spectacle and emotional intensity of live theater into your hands. Expect sweeping melodic lines, rich harmonic colors, and moments of genuine vocal drama paired with piano writing that is both supportive and artistically complete.

Who it's for

Singers and pianists exploring theatrical repertoire, music theater students building contemporary performance portfolios, and accompanists seeking music that bridges pop sensibility with theatrical polish. This collection serves advanced high school vocalists and college-level performers who want material that sounds and feels current without requiring a full band.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the recording from the original show to grasp the intended tempo, phrasing, and emotional arc before working through the piano part.
  • Pay close attention to the chord changes as guides for harmonic intention and accompanying dynamics; they often suggest color and energy shifts that aren't notated in the melody.
  • Balance the vocal line with the piano accompaniment by thinking of the keys as an ensemble partner rather than background; the arrangements are orchestrated, not merely supportive.
  • Treat the dramatic pauses and rubato markings as essential to the theatrical character of each piece, not as optional interpretive choices.

How to use it

Program individual selections from this collection as contemporary alternatives to traditional musical theater standards in vocal recitals or cabaret-style concerts. The variety of styles and themes across the 20 songs makes it possible to curate a themed set (such as pieces centered on movement and physicality) or to select a single standout piece that adds visual and musical intrigue to a more classical program.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading music theater notation with full chord symbols
  • Balancing vocal projection with accompaniment in a professional arrangement
  • Interpreting theatrical phrasing and emotional intent from score markings
  • Collaborating with a pianist on dynamic balance and dramatic timing
  • Understanding contemporary compositional approaches to song structure and harmony
