Program Notes:
The idea for singing this overture from Mozart’s great opera came as a way to enjoy the exciting music written for orchestra in the way that only a chorus can. Because Mozart’s instrumental music is so playful and so full of human spirit, the transcription from the orchestral score has been a natural for vocal ensemble. – Henry H. Leck
