Entry of the Gladiators is probably the best known work by Czech composer Julius Fucik (1872-1916) – primarily because of its frequent use as an upbeat ‘screamer’ march, heralding the arrival of circus clowns.  In fact, Fucik’s original title for the work was Grande Marche Chromatique, because the piece makes frequent use of chromatic passages, but he later substituted Entry of the Gladiators because of a personal interest in Roman history.  .
