overture

n. piece of music that introduces a performance and is generally a medley of the music played during the performance; prelude, opening; introductory proposal, motion towards; introduction (as in a poem or play)

Overture (French ouverture, meaning opening) in music is the instrumental introduction to a dramatic, choral or, occasionally, instrumental composition. Frequently an opening to a larger dramatic work such as an opera, earlier usage of the word also referred to collections of movements, known as suites. Later works, such as Beethoven's overture Leonora No 3 mark a transition between the concept of overture as introduction to a dramatic entertainment, and musical forms such as the symphonic poem, which are free-standing works in their own right.

"Once More, With Feeling" is a musical episode of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was written and directed by Joss Whedon, the creator of the show. The lyrics and music were also written by Whedon, with a score by Christophe Beck and arrangements by Beck and Jesse Tobias.Joss Whedon had wanted to create a musical episode since the first season of Buffy, but wasn't allowed to until the show was moved to a more lenient network, UPN. Another reason for his delaying the musical episode is revealed in his DVD commentary for the episode, where he reveals that if he had placed the episode in season four, it would have occurred shortly after the musical episode The Bitter Suite and would have appeared far less original. Supposedly, the episode "Hush" (which was nominated for an Emmy for its use of the absence of human voices) is located where the musical episode would have originally been placed.
