- The Wasps is incidental music composed by the British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1909. It was written for the Cambridge Greek Play production of Aristophanes' The Wasps at Trinity College, Cambridge, and was Vaughan Williams' first of only three forays into incidental music. A later performance of the work was one of only a small number of performances conducted by Vaughan Williams that was committed to a recording. It was scored for baritone solo voices, a chorus of tenors and baritones (in two parts each), and orchestra. The complete incidental music is lengthy (about 1 hour and 45 minutes) and is not often performed. Vaughan Williams later arranged parts of the music into an orchestral suite (about 26 minutes), in five parts: 1.
* Overture 2.
* Entr'acte 3.
* March Past of the Kitchen Utensils
* Entr'acte 4.
* Ballet and Final Tableau. The Overture is quite concise (about 10 minutes) and is a popular independent concert piece today. The main theme is pentatonic. There are close to 30 recordings now available of the overture. The March Past of the Kitchen Utensils is sometimes separately performed. The entire orchestral suite is also sometimes performed and recorded. The year before he wrote The Wasps, Vaughan Williams spent three months in Paris studying with Maurice Ravel, whose influence is apparent in the middle section. Although The Wasps may reflect something of Ravel, the outer sections are quintessential Vaughan Williams. Except for the opening buzzing, the piece has little to do with wasps or with ancient Greece. (en)
- Het toneelstuk The Wasps werd geschreven tussen 1908 en 1909 door de Britse componist Ralph Vaughan Williams. De eerste uitvoering vond plaats op 26 november 1909 in de New Theatre te Cambridge. Hierop volgden uitvoeringen op 27, 29 en 30 november en 1 december. Op basis van de incidentele muziek voor dit toneelstuk schreef Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1909 eveneens een zelfstandige suite voor orkest, namelijk The Wasps, Aristophanic Suite in Five Movements, die voor de eerste maal werd uitgevoerd op 23 juli 1912 in de Queen's Hall te Londen door het New Symphony Orchestra onder leiding van de componist zelf.

Fu seguita da una serie di spettacoli il 27, 29 e 30 novembre e il 1º dicembre. Per questo lavoro basato sulle musiche di scena, nel 1909 Ralph Vaughan Williams scrisse anche una suite separata per orchestra, vale a dire Le vespe, suite di Aristofane in cinque movimenti, che venne eseguita per la prima volta il 23 luglio 1912 alla Queen's Hall di Londra dalla New Symphony Orchestra diretta dal compositore stesso.
