Back to Let Us Take the Road

LET US TAKE THE ROAD. English, Air. The tune is George Frideric Handel's "March in Rinaldo" from the 1711 opera Rinaldo. It is the vehicle for the song "Let Us Take the Road" in John Gay's Beggar's Opera (1729, Act 2 No. 4, Air 20), and also appears in Webb's ballad opera Court and Country, or the Changelings (London, 1743). The lyric begins:

Let us take the Road.
Hark! I hear the Sound of Coaches!
The Hour of Attack approaches,
To your Arms, brave Boys, and load.
