- Gioacchino Rossini
Overture to La Gazza Ladra
- P.D.Q. Bach
Octoot
- Bedrich Smetana
Three Dances from The Bartered Bride
- Franz Joseph Haydn
Symphony No. 99 in E-flat Major, D. 485
Our
orchestra's spring concert cause:
To elicit from patrons guffaws.
Pieces comic and raucous
From PDQ Bach-ous
Would bend rules without breaking laws.
Often
classical music's not funny
Pomp and circumstance brings in more money
But hear Haydn's surprise -
'Twill delight ears and eyes
And Rossini is vibrant and sunny.
The
MPO traipses with ease
Through pieces that tickle and tease
Our droll sense of humor
Is not just a rumor
We bet ya that Smetana will please!
