A screamer is a descriptive name for a circus march, in particular, an upbeat march intended to stir up the audience during the show.
[edit]
History
Screamers were mostly composed in a 60-year period (1895 – 1955). Circuses were in need of music that would stir the audience into a frenzy, as four-footed animals galloped across the ring. Because march music was a prominent part of American music at that time, and because it carried such a quick tempo, it was this that ringleaders demanded.
