Description
This edition is complete, clear, and practical as well as being scholarly and authoritative. It returns to the primary sources to present the music and libretto as performed during the original Savoy Theatre run. Vocal scores and full scores include the complete libretto. Clearly printed orchestral parts, matching exactly the text given in the full and vocal scores, are available on hire. Vocal scores and full scores include all the important completed but discarded material, and a series of appendices includes hitherto unpublished material from the "Ghost Scene" and elsewhere. This is conveniently cued from the music pages for easy inclusion. The full score, handsomely engraved and bound, contains extensive introductory notes.
Reviews / Votes
I cannot recommend these scores highly enough, because at one stroke they supersede all others both past and present. OUP deserves support and praise for being the first British publisher to honour Sullivan in this way. Chappells, who have made a mint from selling libretti and vocal scores, should have been doing this sort of thing years ago. Sir Arthur Sullivan Society Magazine, Autumn 2000More details
