Our Revels Now Begin, The Merry Wives of Windsor's premier offering, is as if Venus herself plunged a dainty finger deep within her delicate ear and triumphantly emerged with this eclectic collection of songs.
Our music depicts a simpler time when men were men, women were women and adultery was a plausible defense for murder.
The debate to define our music will surely continue, but in the meantime, we invite you to enjoy this, our first CD.
Cheers,
The Merry Wives of Windsor
