The famous "Wedding March" from Mendelssohn's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is instantly recognizable, and the Overture is a wonderful old chestnut in the classical repertoir.
He wrote that Overture at the tender age of 17, then many years later composed incidental music for a stage production of Shakespeare's favorite comedy. I expected "just the music" yesterday, but we had the full show on stage with actors narrating and the Symphony Chorale in the background. It lasted over an hour and and very entertaining from the 4th row.
More ducks and daffodils? OK.
Their first introduction to water yesterday, and well, they took to it like-- ducks!
The pear trees just coming into full bloom. A magic time, with the full promise of Spring.
