Incidental music to the play by William Shakespeare (1564-1616). "vocalists, mixed-voice choir, harmonium and a large orchestra" according to Sibelius.fi. The published score (Hansen) uses Danish / English. (This section should be fixed if we have the language of Sibelius' original known for certain and not guesswork.) The 5 soloists appear in 9 specific numbers of the incidental music; the chorus only in 4 (4, 6, 7, and 10 - 3 of which, excepting 4, also feature Ariel.)
Average Duration of the full incidental music from the Hansen/Music Sales Classical score.
