Figaro's Revelry - The morning after the night before ...
based on The Marriage of Figaro Overture £60
Figaro’s Revelry is a light-hearted swing arrangement for concert wind band based on Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro Overture."
The music depicts the morning after the night before reflecting on the wedding party's drunken revelry. It starts subtone, as if waking early in the morning with, perhaps, a hangover. It goes on to reminisce about the rest of the evening's tomfoolery, drunken swaying and general shenanigans.
