By Gilbert and Sullivan. Composed by Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan. Arranged by Harry Sargeant. This edition: pdf, streaming. 19th Century, Broadway, Comedy, Musical/Show, Opera. Brass Band. 45 pages. Harry Sargeant #1074397. Published by Harry Sargeant (A0.1498090).
This is possibly the greatest patter song ever written. From Gilbert and Sullivan's 1879 operetta Pirates Of Penzance, it has been parodied many times. Its tongue-twisting lyrics and catchy melody make it very popular.
This arrangement is designed so that the soloist can be instrument from Bb cornet down to Euphonium (or even a vocalist singing the original lyrics!).
After deciding the solo instrument, the other parts should work as below. Aim for two players for each harmony part.
- Cornets as normal (flugel doubles repiano)
- Harmony 1: 2 tenor horns
- Harmony 2: any 2 of tenor horn, baritone, trombone
- Harmony 3: any 2 of baritone, trombone, euphonium
- Harmony 4: any 2 of baritone, bass trombone, euphonium
- Bass: Eb and Bb as normal - 1 of each only during solo sections
- Percussion: Any combination optional
