Our Revels Now Begin, The Merry Wives of Windsor's premier offering, is as if Venus herself plunged a dainty finger deep within her delicate ear and triumphantly emerged with this eclectic collection of songs.

Our music depicts a simpler time when men were men, women were women and adultery was a plausible defense for murder.

The debate to define our music will surely continue, but in the meantime, we invite you to enjoy this, our first CD.
