Hilarity

The words of Hilarity paint a scene of convivial revelry, urging the "boys" to fill their glasses and drink their wine. It's a celebration of pleasure, invoking kisses and bliss, all in good spirits and a spirit of generosity with no concern for the bill. This TTBB glee captures that boisterous, masculine camaraderie with its spirited English text. Glees were popular secular part-songs of the 18th and 19th centuries, often celebrating social pleasures and good fellowship. S. H. Dehn's setting is a perfect example of the genre, offering a lively and engaging experience for both performers and listeners, evoking the joy of shared enjoyment.
