You’ll hear Drinking Song by Gustav Holst from the Latin manuscript of Benediktbeuern. Also Drinking Song by Ralph Vaughan Williams from the opera Sir John in Love. Plus Drinking Song by Sigmund Romberg from The Student Prince. And, of course, Drinking Song by Felix Mendelssohn. For a change of pace, A Drinking Song by Ron Jeffers. Then we have Trinklied by Franz Schubert, one from 1813 and another from 1815; the German translating to—yup—Drinking Song. There’s the Student Chorus from the opera The Tales of Hoffmann by Jacques Offenbach; that one happens to be about drinking. Additionally, In taberna quando sumus by Carl Orff from the cantata Carmina Burana; the Medieval Latin translating to When we are in the tavern. Oui, let’s not forget Chanson à Boire by Francis Poulenc, the French of which translates to . . . wait for it . . . Drinking Song.
