Julius Fučík – Entrance of the Gladiators
Biography
Fučík spent most of his life as the leader of military brass bands. He was a prolific composer, with over 300 marches, polkas and waltzes to his name. As most of his work was for military bands he is sometimes known as the Bohemian Sousa.
Today his marches are still played as patriotic music in the Czech Republic. However his world wide reputation rests on one work, his opus 68 march the Entrance of the Gladiators (Vjezd gladiátorů), which is ubiquitously played as the theme tune of the clowns in a circus.

This guy probably took his music deadly seriously, but because of circuses he's now known as the bloke who made that silly song.

That joke (bravo by the way) gives new meaning to the title "Entry Of The Gladiators".
