This edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion features circus music composed by Fred Jewell, who ran away from home to join the band of the Gentry Bros. Dog & Pony Show at age 16. He played the euphonium and the calliope. Eventually, he directed three circus bands: the band of the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus, the Sells-Floto Circus, and the Barnum & Bailey Circus. When he retired from circus work in 1918, he returned to his hometown of Worthington, Indiana, to be the high school band director. He composed over 100 marches and screamers, a screamer being a fast march that accompanied galloping animals in circus acts.
