Gilbert and Sullivan Favorites for Voice and Guitar Guitar/Vocal Selections from H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, Patience, Iolanthe, and The Mikado by Jerry Silverman Fingerpicking Guitar - Digital Sheet Music
By Jerry SilvermanAs you read this, somewhere in the English-speaking world, a production of a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta is being rehearsed or presented. It may be taking place in an elementary, secondary, or high school, a university, an amateur musical theater group, a summer stock ensemble, or a professional light opera company. The musical accompaniment may consist of a piano or twoperhaps plus a few other instrumentsor a full orchestra.Audiences, be they first-time listeners or dyed-in-the-wool Gilbert and Sullivan 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 in London 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 Gilbert and Sullivan favorites drawn from five of their most popular operettas: H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, Patience, Iolanthe, and The Mikado, arranged with guitar chords in guitar-friendly keys! The very model of a modern music manuscript! All selections include melody, lyrics, and guitar chords.

Song List
H. M. S. Pinafore
We Sail The Ocean Blue
I’m Called Little Buttercup
A Maiden Fair To See
I Am The Captain Of The Pinafore
Sorry her lot
I Am The Monarch Of The Sea
When I Was A Lad
Fair Moon, To Thee I Sing
Never Mind The Why and Wherefore
The Merry Maiden And The Tar
A Many Years Ago
Oh Joy, Oh Rapture Unforseen!
The Pirates Of Penzance
When Frederic Was a Little Lad
Oh Better Far To Live And Die
Climbing Over Rocky Mountain
Oh, Is There Not One Maiden Breast
Poor Wandering One
Model Of A Modern Major-General
Ah, Leave Me Not To Pine
A Policeman’s Lot Is Not A Happy One
With Catlike Tread
Patience
Twenty Love-Sick Maidens We
I cannot tell what this love may be
If you want a receipt
When I First Put This Uniform On
If You’re Anxious For To Shine
Prithee, Pretty Maiden
SILVERED IS THE RAVEN HAIR
The Magnet And The Churn
Love Is A Plaintive Song
When I Go Out Of Door
Iolanthe
Good Morrow, Good Lover
The Law is the True Embodiment
Of All The Young Ladies I Know
When I Went To The Bar
Young Strephon Is The Kind Of Lout
When All Night Long
When Britain Really Ruled the Waves
When You’re Lying Awake
Faint Heart Never Won Fair Lady
The Mikado
If You Want To Know Who We Are
A Wand’ring Minstrel I
Behold The Lord High Executioner
I’ve Got A Little List
Three Little Maids From School
For He’s Going To Marry Yum-Yum
The Moon And I
Here’s A How-De-Do
From Every Kind Of Man
My Object All Sublime
The Flowers That Bloom In The Spring
Tit Willow
