Condition: Good. The songs of Gilbert & Sullivan, as with many near-legendary works adopted by an enthusiastic, uncritical public, have not always survived in the most reliable form. A word gets lost or blurred, a strophe is dropped, and the song evolves along uncontrollable lines. Fortunately many of the early vocal scores authorized by Sir Arthur Sullivan still exist and are reprinted here, in the most complete and authentic anthology of Gilbert & Sullivan currently available.Ninety-two songs from all fourteen operettas are reproduced in the form Sullivan approved. Each number in this collection solo, chorus, patter song, ballad, etc. is presented uncut, unedited, in the original key, in Sullivan's original piano arrangements. The memorable ditties from the pair's 25-year collaboration (1871 96) appear, along with many not so well known, including a piece from their first joint effort, Thespis (1871), the entire score of which has been lost except for two numbers.Contents include: Thespis Little Maid of ArcadeeTrial by Jury O gentlemen, listen I prayThe Sorcerer Welcome joy Adieu to sadness HMS Pinafore When I was a lad; He is an Englishman The Pirates of Penzance Poor wand'ring one; With cat-like treadPatience Prithee, pretty maidens; Sad is that woman's lotIolanthe Oh foolish fay; What I went to the BarPrincess Ida Expressive glancesThe Mikado A wand'ring minstrel I; Three little maidsRuddigore I once was a very abandoned personThe Yeomen of the Guard Oh A private buffoonThe Gondoliers I stole the PrinceUtopia, Limited Society has quite forsaken all her wicked coursesThe Grand Duke So ends my dreamMalcolm Binney and Peter Lavender collected these rare, complete vocal scores suitable for amateur and professional performance or reading; James Spero has added complete title and premiere information and a plot synopsis for each operetta.

Hardback. Condition: Fair. A group of employees and their CEO, celebrating the sale of their remarkable emotion-mapping-AI-algorithm, crash onto a not-quite-deserted tropical island. Luckily, those who survived have found a beautiful, fully-stocked private palace, with all the latest technological updates (though one without connection to the outside world). The house, however, has more secrets than anyone might have guessed, and a much darker reason for having been built and left behind. Kristen, the hyper-competent chief emotional manager (a position created by her eccentric, boyish billionaire boss, Sumter) is trying to keep her colleagues stable throughout this new challenge, but staying sane seems to be as much of a challenge as staying alive. Being a woman in tech has always meant having to be smarter than anyone expects--and Kristen's knack for out-of-the-box problem-solving and quick thinking has gotten her to the top of her field. But will a killer instinct be enough to survive the island? A gleefully decadent near future whodunit from Madeline Ashby, the acclaimed futurist and author of>Company Town--perfect for fans of>Severance, The White Lotus, and>Black Mirror.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. The Complete Annotate Gilbert & Sullivan provides the complete text of all the Gilbert and Sullivan operas which are still performed today, together with extensive annotations covering lost' songs, alterations and additions, obscure allusions, production points, and comments of interest. No other book provides such extensive commentary on the texts of the Savoy Operas nor provides such a source of innocent merriment to fans of the incomparable Victorian duo For each opera, there is a short introduction describing how the work came to be written, and giving its performance history. The text, including stage directions, is given on the right-hand page, and on the left (keyed in by line numbers) are notes. These give such information as the identity of a real-life person appearing or mentioned as a character, wordings that were different in the original edition (the one sent to the Lord Chamberlain for licensing), changes made for the first American performance, glosses on technical terms (eg. legal terms), literary references, cross-references to similar items in other Savoy operas, comments from first-night critics, and many other things Previously published by Penguin in two pap.…
