Verdi opera Giovanna d'ArcoOriginally posted by Caliban View PostOh Bravo, cloughie!

Leonard Bernstein Missa Brevis was composed for an adaption of the play by Jean Anouilh called The Lark, which covers the events surrounding Joan of Arc and her trial.

Could be worse. At least we're avoiding Sluts Hole Lane in Norfolk (from the Dutch for 'sluice' it seems)...
