THE MUSIC FOR THE CHORUS

This music was used at the production of the play in the Abbey Theatre. It was written for a Leader and five others. The Leader’s voice should be of tenor quality, the Second Voice a baritone, the Third Voice a bass, the other voices—and there can be as many as the producer likes—should be bass. The music should not be sung in strict time. If necessary, one of the Chorus can have a small flute or whistle and softly play a note or two before each chorus begins.


FIRST CHORUS.
