Bass is received at Court and meets the beautiful and dangerous Countess.
Incidental Music:
Corius’s theme: “Unquiet Thoughts” by John Dowland
The Countess’s theme: “April is in my Mistress’ Face” by Thomas Morley.
Outro bracketed by: “The Witches’ Dance” by an anonymous English composer.
Both performed by Jon Sayles and used by his kind permission.
The lyrics of the Countess’s theme are:
April is in my mistress’ face.
And July in her eyes hath place.
Within her bosom is September,
But in her heart a cold December.
Which, as you will hear, is a very apt description of the Countess.
