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 the creative vision of two Montreal street performers in 1984 and has evolved into a global entertainment phenomenon, known for blending circus arts with theatrical storytelling, live music, and visual spectacle. The company's approach to music is integral to its identity: each show features original scores and songs that underscore acrobatic sequences, character arcs, and emotional moments, making the music as essential to the performance as the physical artistry itself.

Why we love this

Ombra offers pianists and vocalists access to music from one of the world's most visually and sonically imaginative theatrical experiences. The combination of evocative melody, atmospheric harmony, and theatrical flair makes this a compelling piece for recitals, auditions, or teaching students how to shape lyrical material with dramatic intent.

What to expect

Ombra carries the dreamlike, slightly mysterious quality characteristic of Dralion's aesthetic. The piece draws you into an intimate moment within a larger spectacle, with a sense of shadow and light that invites both vocalist and pianist to create atmosphere and emotional depth.

Who it's for

Pianists comfortable with pop and theatrical repertoire will find this accessible yet musically rewarding. Vocalists seeking contemporary material with dramatic arc and lyrical substance can use this to develop interpretive skills in a non-classical context.

How to get the most out of it

  • Honor the atmospheric quality of the piece by sustaining long phrases with consistent breath support and allowing the piano accompaniment to breathe between vocal phrases.
  • Use the chord symbols to explore harmonic color at the keyboard; experiment with voicing choices that enhance the theatrical mood rather than defaulting to standard chord triads.
  • Balance vocal expression with the accompaniment so the story of the piece emerges through nuance rather than volume, allowing listeners to hear both the melody and the emotional undercurrent.

How to use it

This works beautifully in a recital segment exploring music from stage and screen, or as a solo vehicle in a concert that juxtaposes classical and contemporary works. It also serves as an excellent audition piece for programs seeking performers who can command theatrical material with musicality.

Skills your students will build

  • Sustained phrasing and breath control across long melodic lines
  • Harmonic awareness through chord-symbol reading and voicing choices
  • Theatrical interpretation and emotional storytelling in contemporary vocal music
  • Collaboration between vocalist and pianist in balancing melody and accompaniment
