Verdi's Anvil Chorus features hardworking gypsies (now there's a stereotype breaker) singing about the glories of hard work and gypsy women while hammering on an anvil. Other opera composers have used anvils too. Wagner, who always went waaay overboard, called for 18 anvils (!) in one of his butt-crushingly long operas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060145524274176402.post-76148425683411604822018-06-03T15:05:31.621-04:002018-06-03T15:05:31.621-04:00What fantastical world-building--to live inside a ...What fantastical world-building--to live inside a volcano!Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060145524274176402.post-55720496287768999062018-06-03T14:09:16.666-04:002018-06-03T14:09:16.666-04:00Good.
