…and unfortunately, getting thee to a church these days, you’d be subjected to bongo drums, electric guitars through 50000 watts of distortion, and belly dancers with ugly tatoos.
this is mad, so wonderfully mad…
It’s Zelenka… hence, wonderfully mad!
I heard this piece years and years ago, and it’s so wildly Bohemian in every wonderful way.
