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 in 1984 when two Montreal street performers, Guy Laliberté and Gilles Ste-Croix, combined acrobatics, music, and theater into a revolutionary form of live entertainment. Over four decades, the company has created more than 20 distinct shows performed across the globe, each with its own musical identity crafted by composers who blend world music, contemporary styles, and theatrical storytelling. The organization has become synonymous with spectacle that prioritizes artistic innovation and human performance over traditional circus conventions.

For music educators and students, Cirque du Soleil's catalog represents accessible entry points into world music influences, rhythmic complexity, and theatrical song arrangement. The company's commitment to evolving its artistic vision has resulted in soundtracks that challenge performers while remaining performable by skilled amateurs and professionals alike.

Why we love this

This collection brings genuine theatrical excitement into the studio or recital hall without requiring elaborate staging or special effects. The chord charts and professional piano arrangements mean students can focus on interpreting the music itself, discovering how Cirque du Soleil uses melody and harmony to support the emotional journey of each piece rather than relying on spectacle.

What to expect

Cirque du Soleil's music carries theatrical sophistication wrapped in accessible melodies. "Triangle Tango" evokes the playful energy and rhythmic momentum of the show's narrative, with a character that invites performers to embrace both precision and personality in the same phrase.

Who it's for

This digital collection serves singers preparing recital or audition material, music theater students exploring world music-influenced songwriting, and pianists seeking repertoire that bridges classical training with contemporary theatrical contexts. It also appeals to music teachers building units on musical theater, world music elements, or the relationship between music and movement.

How to get the most out of it

  • Examine the chord changes carefully; many Cirque pieces use unexpected harmonic movement that rewards deliberate voice leading rather than pushing through at tempo.
  • Balance the melody line with the lyrics so both remain clear; the piano part is written to support, not overshadow, the vocalist's storytelling.
  • Let the rhythmic character of each song emerge naturally rather than forcing it; "Triangle Tango" benefits from a sense of swagger that comes from secure, relaxed time rather than aggressive attacks.

How to use it

Program these songs individually in student recitals to showcase versatility and theatrical flair, or curate several pieces into a thematic concert exploring world music or movement-inspired composition. The collection also works well as supplementary material in music theater or world music courses where students benefit from studying professionally arranged, culturally informed repertoire.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and interpreting chord symbols in contemporary vocal arrangements
  • Balancing melodic phrasing with lyrical delivery in a theater music context
  • Understanding harmonic movement in world music-influenced compositions
  • Collaborating between vocalist and pianist to support storytelling through music
