The Merry Wives of Windsor (Sullivan)

Arthur Sullivan wrote incidental music for a production of the then seldom staged Shakespeare comedy The Merry Wives of Windsor presented for the 1874–75 Christmas season at the Gaiety Theatre in London. This was the third suite of incidental music that Sullivan wrote for a play. The music, though well received, is not among the composer's best-known, but has been recorded and released on CD and online.
