The Gilbert & Sullivan operas, whilst always maintaining a following, tend to go in and out of fashion from time to time. Much of Sullivan's music is beautifully lyrical and is packed with good tunes and deserves to be heard more often. This suite for orchestra puts together a selection of the best bits from "The Gondoliers".
Duration: 12 minutes
A PACK comprises an A4 sized full score plus a complete set of parts including strings 4/4/3/4/2.
