Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Ambroise Thomas' opera, Hamlet; (which is a lot longer than ... )
Liszt (and Tchaikovsky) Symphonic Poem Hamlet;

- no, in a previous life, (before Ferneyhough was even a name to me!) I composed some music for a production of the play: scored for a quartet of percussionists and a Flute/Saxophone player, it was closer to Birtwistle's Orestia Music.
