Sir James Galway first came upon Gilbert and Sullivan's wonderful operettas while playing with Sadler's Wells Opera orchestra which later became the English National Opera. His fondness for good tunes with which the G&S operettas abound led to this collection created with longtime collaborator and arranger David Overton. The Gilbert and Sullivan arrangements are divided into separate albums as some of the songs are best suited to solo flute and piano some for two flutes and piano and some lend themselves to a flute choir. This volume for flute choir contains: Brightly dawns our wedding day (Mikado) For he's gone and married Yum-Yum (Mikado) I am a courtier craveand serious (Gondoliers) Strephon's a Member of Parliament (Iolanthe)

'The Gondoliers' represents a return to the satirical and ebullient Gilbert and Sullivan of 'The Mikado' after the grim Ruddigore and Yeoman of the Guard. Gilbert sets his story in Venice leaving the cloudy English sky for the sunny Mediterranean world. It is the tale of Casilda who is married at birth to the infant heir to the throne of barteria who is kidnapped soon afterwards. Twenty years later Casilda's family set out to find him. Naturally he turns out to be Casilda's own true love Luiz who she was forced to give up to look for her rightful husband. This is the Schirmer edition of the Vocal Score with all the dialogue edited by Byceson Treharne.
