Kathy Farmer has adapted this famous tune skillfully, using G minor to create the 'moderato grotesque'. The 6/8 bounces along and the rhythmic unity in most of the parts make this appealing to inexperinced groups. There are some more challenging moments though and the chromatic passages will need attention. It will need to be performed well, otherwise it could become very dull.
