W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan produced several of the most popular operas and operettas of all time. Sullivan's music was always memorable and tuneful while Gilbert's libretti had both wit and pathos. This book contains several Gilbert and Sullivan selections for the Baritone/Bass singer including 'When You're Lying Awake with a Dismal Headache' and 'I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General' and comes with access to online recordings of the Piano accompaniments from the book for those occasions when a pianist cannot be found for practice!

Patience or Bunthorne’s Bride is a satirical spoof on Aesthetic poets and their followers. It revolves around two rival poets Reginald Bunthorne and Archibald Grosvenor. Bunthorne lives in a castle with his family and enjoys adding up his receipts. Grosvenor on the other hand is an idyllic poet and 'true' aesthetic who despises money. Conflict arises when both try to woo the same woman who has neither money nor social standing; in the end Grosvenor abandons his appearance of aestheticism.
