- Description
- Into every life a little laughter must fall.
Here I have dropped on you an arrangement of "La donna e mobile" from Verdi's opera Rigoletto. Loosely translated, the title means "The lady is fickle". This arrangement can be subtitled "The horn player is nuts".
I have intended this arrangement solely to be a comic interlude from the usual Woodwind quintet fare. Play it for laughs and you should get some. If not, somebody should go into the audience and check for pulses.
