A triumphant Mozart masterwork for today's choirs! This joyful opera finale opens and closes with a boisterous choral fanfare, sandwiches a brief expressive vocal duet in the middle, features robust Italian lyrics (optional English text and IPA pronunciation guide included), and incorporates a thrilling dig-in piano accompaniment---all in just two minutes. Not necessarily familiar, but undeniably fantastic!

I have four issues with this adaptation:1. The adaptation is severely truncated. The original piece is much longer. Having said this, I do understand that this is an adaptation after all, so this - while still a pet peeve - is not really that much of an issue.2. The piece is not in the correct key signature3. The piece is not in its correct tempo. The adaptation is in allegro, while the original piece is in vivace. This means that if sung in its original tempo, this adaptation will be over in less than 90 seconds4. The English lyrics have got NOTHING to do with original Latin text. Rather, they are the random (and completely irrelevant) musings of the arranger.
