Program Notes

This quirky little march from Vaughan Williams' incidental music to Aristophanes' play The Wasps is an interesting little audience pleaser. Although there are a few challenges in this score, it's well worth it to perform a tidbit by this early 20th century master of British music.

- Program Note from publisher


The Wasps is incidental music composed by the British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1909. It was written for a production of Aristophanes' The Wasps at Trinity College, Cambridge, and was Vaughan Williams' first of only three forays into incidental music. A later performance of the work was one of only a small number of performances conducted by Williams that was committed to a recording.

The March Past of the Kitchen Utensils is the third movement of this suite.
