For those who might want to know. The actual piece of music used in the introduction to "Boxers" taken from the opera by Benjamin Britten "Peter Grimes", Op33 (1945) is titled "Moonlight" and is interlude V in act 111. It opens the act and lasts for close to one minute. It's a lovely piece of music.
The London Symphony Orchestra recorded a live version of the opera at the Barbican, London in January 2004 and is available on compact disc. Sir Colin Davis is the conductor and the recording also features New Zealand born Samoan baritone Jonathan Lemalu.
Britten also wrote the opera, "Billy Budd", but we all knew that anyway. I wonder how long it will be until a poster starts using "Peter Grimes" as their Morrissey Solo name?
