Excerpt: ...vespers. Therefore a chorus. Not that we have anything to say that concerns the story in any way. Din, don That would suffice, but if you must have more: Let's to church. Din, don. All's right with love and the sunset. Din, don But mamma has her eye on the young folk and their inclination for kissing. Din, don Bells and pipes are echoed by the singers.
