Juste parce que j’adore Gilbert and Sullivan, en particulier l’extraordinaire « Mikado » drôle, complètement déjanté, sur un livret improbable et surtout surtout des harmonie des mélodies incroyables venues d’ailleurs. Spécialement le passage « You’re on my list » ! Tellement vrai dans le monde vrai !
The full orchestral score for Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta The Yeomen of the Guard is being published for the first time - 128 years after it was written.
Although Sir Arthur Sullivan’s original handwritten manuscript was bequeathed to the Royal College of Music in London, the score was never printed.
Over the years, errors crept in. Notes were changed and different keys and harmonies were introduced and those alterations were gradually accepted as the norm.
But when Colin Jagger, the director of music at Portsmouth University, embarked on a new production, he wanted to return to the original.
