Episode 86: 18186 Ready or Not

Verdi wrote Falstaff, which was the last of his 28 operas, as he was approaching the age of 80. It was his second comedy, and his third work based on a Shakespeare play, following Macbeth and Otello. The plot revolves around the thwarted, sometimes farcical, efforts of the fat knight, Sir John Falstaff, to seduce two married women to gain access to their husband's wealth.

An exquisitely rhapsodic cycle of music, it is a transformative journey of consciousness—with lyrics that offer a new vocabulary of mantra. Originally composed as "modern mantras" or plain chants for listening or joining in, these epiphanic rounds, voiced a cappella, return us to the spiritual origins of all song- the merging of words and music to illuminate and elevate.
