Music notes #3
Entry of the Gladiators 
This is another song that's instantly recognizable. You will recognize this after the first 15 seconds.

That's right. Everyone universally recognizes it as "the Clown Song," or maybe "the Circus Song." The song that plays as clowns rush in to perform.
Julius Fučík was a Czech composer with an interest in Roman history, which is where the title "Entry of the Gladiators," comes from. Given that it is now associated with something very un-gladiator like, I thought it was appropriate for an icon where Nonon is shocked/unnerved by whatever she's seeing. The expression you might make when you see the gladiators you were expecting turn out to be a bunch of clowns.
(Still, the full version is very nice.)
