The Circus Comes to Town

Tom Glazer
The Circus Comes to Town

Recorded for Young People’s Records in 1948, The Circus Comes to Town brings the excitement and wonder of the big top to life through engaging songs that encourage movement and imaginative play. Folk musician Tom Glazer wanted his children’s music to speak to young listeners at their own level; the lyrical, rhythmic, and melodic content of these songs is perfectly tailored for even the youngest audience to sing and dance along. Sound effects of crowds, animals, and traditional circus music create an immersive listening experience which encourages active imagination and participation.
