Work & Edition Details
This scholarly performing edition restores the music of this ballad-opera to its original eighteenth-century state. It reconstructs the scoring of the songs from the evidence of surviving ballad-opera material from the period. The arrangements are historically authentic and dramatically plausible; their flexibility allows for performance by groups of widely differing size and constitution, whether professional or amateur.
