Our third Choral Collage comes from a man who could do it all. Noël Coward was world-famous not only as a songwriter and entertainer, but also as an actor, director, screenwriter, and playwright. 

Let’s set the scene: Private Lives. 

Awkward former lovers find themselves together again, on a balcony in the moonlight in the South of France. An orchestra plays somewhere. 

They start slow-dancing. Elyot leans in to Amanda, and says, "Strange how potent cheap music is."
