More about this title

About the Composer: Guy Dubuc

Guy Dubuc has been the primary composer for Cirque du Soleil since the company's early years, creating the sonic identity that defines the troupe's most iconic productions. His work spans multiple shows and blends world music influences, contemporary orchestration, and theatrical storytelling into cohesive soundscapes that enhance acrobatic spectacle.

Why we love this

This collection gives pianists and vocalists access to Cirque du Soleil's theatrical repertoire in an accessible, singable format. The diversity of styles across 27 selections means you can program anything from world music settings to pop-influenced numbers, making it ideal for recitals that need stylistic variety or for introducing students to contemporary theatrical composition.

What to expect

Exotic, imaginative, and visually vivid. These songs carry the theatrical energy and world music textures of Cirque du Soleil's live productions, often evoking specific circus imagery through melody and harmony. Even without acrobatic spectacle, the music conveys wonder, movement, and a sense of transcendence.

Who it's for

Pianists and vocalists who want to explore contemporary theatrical music in a singable, ensemble-friendly format. This collection works for intermediate to advanced students, recital singers, and music theater curricula seeking quality repertoire beyond traditional Broadway standards.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the chord changes carefully before relying on the piano accompaniment; many songs use modal harmony and non-traditional progressions that reward intentional voice leading.
  • Let the percussion and rhythmic patterns suggested in the piano part inform your vocal phrasing and breath placement, especially in pieces with Latin or world music rhythms.
  • Balance the melody line against the accompaniment by thinking of the piano as an ensemble partner rather than a support vehicle; these arrangements have orchestral color that deserves room to breathe.

How to use it

Feature a few selections on a recital to introduce audiences to Cirque du Soleil's original songwriting and showcase the range of musical styles the company represents. This repertoire works especially well in spring concerts, music theater showcases, or as a thematic program around theatrical or world music traditions.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing with stylistically appropriate phrasing across multiple world music and contemporary genres
  • Reading chord charts and understanding harmonic function in non-traditional tonalities
  • Coordinating vocal line with rhythmically complex piano accompaniment
  • Interpreting theatrical context and storytelling through music
