Circus music is any sort of music that is playe to accompany a circus, as well as music written that emulates its general style. The most common type of circus music is the circus march, or screamer, which are marches played at very fast tempos. Popular music would also often get arranged for the circus band, as well as waltzes, foxtrots and other dances. Such bands would accompany the acts, as well as giving a B-flat chord as a stinger to signify a successful trick.
