Composed by Unknown. Arranged by Linda Fox. This edition: pdf. Baroque, Broadway, Classical, Historic, Musical/Show, Opera. Score. 5 pages. Linda Fox Fairbairns #1347988. Published by Linda Fox Fairbairns (A0.1787882).The Beggar's Opera, 1727, was a popular play in early Georgian England. Described as a ballad opera, it featured over 50 well-known tunes of the day, set to new words by the playwright John Gay.
My edition of this play uses an orchestra consisting of 2 recorders, flute, oboe, 2 bassoons (which may easily be replaced by cellos), violin, viola, double bass, percussion and guitar (not in this song). This is the vocal score, but a full score version is also available on this platform.
FILL EVERY GLASS is from the second scene: Macheath's highwaymen are enjoying a drink before hitting the road. Although the words speak of wine, the sound is most certainly beery!
The singers are Mat of the Mint, plus a trio of any three from the gang, and a chorus of men.
The whole of the Beggar's Opera is ready to upload one song at a time, so watch this space! I will upload full scores with vocal scores appended, and vocal scores separately.
