NOT Rachmaninoff.

[Publius]

"To Anachreon in Heaven" differs from the version we sing today because it lacks the accidentals and dotted notes. It's in quick minuet tempo -- one-and-two-and-three-and -- not the straight three-over-four we sing today.

In the AMC series "Turn", there is a wonderful scene where Abraham Woodhull is singing at a drinking party with English officers, and he breaks into this song. It sounds like something that Handel could have written after one too many pots of ale.

Here is a choral version of the complete song in its original configuration.

"To Anachreon in Heaven"

(BTW, in the video you showed me, he plays the finale of Mozart's Sonata in A Major, K. 331, too quickly. It's marked "allegretto", not "allegro vivace".
