In 1901, American publisher Carl Fischer published a version of this march, arranged for American wind bands by Canadian composer Louis-Philippe Laurendeau, under the title "Thunder and Blazes".[3] It was during this period that the piece gained lasting popularity as a screamer march[4] for circuses, often used to introduce clowns.[5] Today it is mainly known by this association. Laurendeau's version was also transcribed for fairground organs.
