Brass band

SKU: LB.276

Composed by Gilbert and Sullivan. Arranged by David Lovrien. Score and parts. Lovebird Music #276. Published by Lovebird Music (LB.276).

This hilarious show-stopper from "The Pirates of Penzance" is one of Gilbert & Sullivan's most memorable comic opera moments. A band of awkward policemen sing a heroic tune ("Ta-ran-ta-ra") while the lyrics confess their cowardice at the prospect of taking on the bloodthirsty pirates. This arrangement for brass band highlights Sullivan's brilliant contrapuntal writing - often missed amidst the slapstick and chewing of scenery during a stage performance.
