William Schwenck Gilbert: The Pirates Of Penzance In Full Score: Opera: Score

As you read this somewhere in the English-speaking world a production of a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta is being rehearsed or presented. It may be taking place in an elementary secondary or high school; a university; an amateurmusical theater group; a summer-stock ensemble; a professional light-opera company. The musical accompaniment may consist of a piano or two - perhaps plus a few other instruments - or a full orchestra. Audiences be theyfirst-time listeners or dyed-in-the wool G&S fanatics will be captivated by the scintillating melodies and effervescent lyrics of those highly unlikely collaborators: Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan and Sir William Schwenck GIlbert.Incredibly despite the seemingly endless popularity of these works which have been published staged recorded broadcast televised and cinematized over the years since their first performances by the D’Oyly Carte Opera inLondon in the 1870s and 1880s there has never been an edition which permitted the guitar-playing masses to enjoy these Victorian gems. Until now. Here for the first time are 52 G&S favorites (or if you will favourites) drawnfrom five of their most popular operettas: H.M.S. Pinafore The Pirates of Penzance Patience Iolanthe The Mikado. arranged with guitar chords in guitar-friendly keys! The very model of a modern music manuscript! Allselections include melody lyrics and guitar chords.

or The Slave of Duty-In Gilbert And Sullivan's 'The Pirates of Penzance' our hero is Frederick a young man apprenticed to a pirate king because of a misunderstanding - his nanny misheard his parent's request to apprentice him to a pilot. On the verge of turning his back on the ill-adjusted swashbuckling lifestyle and crew Frederick finds himself torn between his love for Mable his desire to eliminate the scourge of piracy and his sense of duty - the subtitle for the show is 'The Slave of Duty'. Of course the final twist is another identity confusion - just when all seems lost the pirates are bound over to surrender - because they're all orphaned noblemen. They regain their places in the House ofLords. This Vocal score contains all the dialogue and historical notes by Marie Eggold; it is edited by Bryceson Treharne.
