Description
On-screen: A circus poster
Description: Fun, upbeat circus music plays as we see a circus poster; played by a circus band, with an emphasis on brass and winds (no strings); the music fades quieter but continues under the dialogue of the first scene; afterwards we hear applause, signaling that the music is being played at an actual circus
Analysis: The music has a large-scale ternary form; only the A section has been transcribed
