The circle of fifths is a reference to the 5th note on every major/minor musical scale. The first chord in any scale is played with the root note first (C), followed by the 3r (E) followed by the 5th (G). To play the circle start off in the key of C, find the 5th (G), play that major chord, then find the 5th off of the G root (D), repeat the pattern until you have played the 5ths in all 12 key signatures. This is a great way to learn scales and chord patterns.
It's all about taste, harmony theory and the Circle of Fifths. Consider the medley a suite of movements in a single piece having a certain key. Ask yourself if you want the medley to come round "home" to the original key or not. If not, do you want it tend lower or higher, dark or bright as it develops.
The key the song, "Circle of Life", is played in is B-flat major according to musicnotes.com.
A viola is in the key of C, and is tuned in fifths. The lowest string is tuned an octave below middle C, then G, D, and A. Each string is an octave higher then a cello.

Johann Sebastian Bach 'discovered' the chromatic scale, and composed the Circle of Fifths. The Circle of Fifths starts with the key of C, which has no accidentals (flats or sharps). The fifth note of C is G, when means when you play or write these scales, you move from the key of C to the key of G - moving up a perfect fifth; hence, the term 'circle of fifths'. The key of G major has one accidental, the F sharp. The fifth note of the key of G is D, and the key of D major has TWO sharps - so you see, as you move through the circle of fifths each change increases the number of accidentals by one. For instance, the fifth note of D is A, and the key of A major has THREE accidentals. That is pretty much why the key of G major has an accidental, which in the case of that scale, happens to be F sharp.
B flat major/ g minor
The Cirlce of Fifths shows all Major and Minor Chords and their respective key signatures.The closer a chord is to another, the closer the two chords are related, and are more likely to be used together in songs and chord progressions.Search "circle of fifths" on google images and have a look - a picture speaks a thousand words!
D major.
The easiest way to modulate from G to F major is by modulating down to C major on the way. In that way you are moving down the circle of fourths/fifths.
Diatonic key signatures result from the diatonic scales. There are 15 diatonic scales and each of them have a key signature which corresponds to each scale. There is a circle of fifths which shows the system on how to come across each and every diatonic key signature and scale.
