What exactly does 'Overture' mean? I've always associated it with music, but not sure why.

Laurel, DE(Zone 7a)

Here is the Google meaning

Quoting:
orchestral music played at the beginning of an opera or oratorio
preliminary: something that serves as a preceding event or introduces what follows; "training is a necessary preliminary to employment"; "drinks were the overture to dinner"

I had a great day at the show. It wasn't very warm or sunny, but it didn't matter, still worth a visit!

Wowwwwwweeeeeeeeee Kazzzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaaam! Now those are really super!
The one reminds me of a Treble clef, think that is what it is called. My Fair Lady is phenomenal. The one you are not sure of reminds me of a church organ. As for all of them they are really fabulous.
You musta had a spectacular thrill being there.

Nice flowers again. It didn't give me any ideas as to an arrngement though. Its sort of an obscure theme isn't it? I didn't understand the Aussie opne either, but I did like all the ones that resembled music ledger.

Laurel, DE(Zone 7a)

Such grand scales, even if I got an idea I wouldn't know where to begin making something so huge.

There seems to be a tendency to S-t-r-e-t-c-h them all out hey?

Brooklyn, NY(Zone 7a)

I don't understand the Aussie one either but it is my favorite.

New Orleans, LA(Zone 8b)

Candee, "such grand scales" I love that! Count me in, I don't get the Aussie one either.
