Arranged For Classical Guitar-This anthology contains nineteen of the most popular Gilbert and Sullivan classics arranged in easily sight-readable versions for beginning to intermediate classical guitarists. All the favorites are here ranging fromsentimental ballads such as Little Buttercup Willow Tit-Willow and There Grew a Little Flower to more up-tempo 'patter' type pieces such as Oh! A Private Buffoon Kind Sir You Cannot Have theHeart and A Policeman's Lot. The aim has been to provide both a useful teaching resource and a light-hearted alternative to the more 'serious' music of the Classical Guitar repertoire. All the pieces lendthemselves extremely well to the common idiomatic textures of the Classical Guitar. A variety of melody and accompaniment styles are employed including block chords arpeggio patterns and passages of double-stopped thirdsand sixths. A number of the pieces are in easy first position format while others explore the common higher positions. The standard Guitar keys are utilized (C G D A E) but there are occasional more challengingtemporary modulations to 'difficult' keys such as E flat major. There are also instances of drop-D tuning which is often required in Classical Guitar playing.

Sir James Galway first came upon Gilbert and Sullivan's wonderful operettas while playing with Sadler's Wells Opera orchestra which later became English National Opera. His fondness for good tunes with which 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 duo and piano contains: Dance a Cachucha (Gondoliers) If we're week enough to tarry (Iolanthe) None shall part us (Iolanthe) We'recalled Gondoliers (Gondoliers)
