Re: [ARSCLIST] Lysistrata Overture (2)

[Punto <punto@xxxxxxxx>]

After diong a little more digging, I see that the Lincke Lysistrata was 
written in 1902 (which makes it early enough) and that it is the source 
of the Glow-worm song, popularized by the Mills Bros., et al. There is 
definitely an overture (see

), though I can't point you towards any sheet music for it.
