Details:
This circus soundtrack is a rollicking celebration of journalism in the 20th century. Songs draw inspiration from the music of early newsreels, the sounds of typewriters and the mechanical printing press, and other classic elements of the reporter's profession. Giving particular emphasis to the syncopated rhythms of ragtime and the playful energy of 1920s music, while also paying a visit or two to the soaring orchestrations of newscast themes from the late 20th century, Frontpage Follies is a nostalgic tribute to a bygone era of news-gathering... all with a contemporary circus twist!

These songs were written and originally performed for Circus Smirkus, an internationally renowned youth circus that tours New England every summer presenting themed circus productions under a traveling Big Top.
