The Wasps, by Ralph Vaughan Williams


From Wikipedia:

The Wasps is incidental music composed by the British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1909. It was written for a production of Aristophanes' The Wasps at Trinity College, Cambridge, and was Vaughan Williams' first of only two forays into incidental music.

Vaughan Williams later arranged parts of the music into an orchestral suite, in five parts:

Overture
Entr'acte
March Past of the Kitchen Utensils
Entr'acte
Ballet and Final Tableau.
