H.M.S. Pinafore
Sullivan, A

Musicians Publications presents Sir Arthur Sullivan’s ‘H.M.S. Pinafore’ arranged for woodwind quartet by Bill Holcombe Jr. Scored for flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon, this arrangement also includes a bass clarinet part to substitute for the bassoon when necessary/desired for performance.

’Following the success of ‘The Sorcerer’ and ‘Trial by Jury’, Arthur Sullivan and W.S. Gilbert began work on ‘H.M.S. Pinafore’. The work was to be premiered at the Opera Comique in London on May 25, 1878 and become one of the duos most famous works. The plot draws on stock nautical characters from literature of the time as well as contemporary political figures. Sir Joseph Porter was instantly recognizable as W.H. Smith, who had recently been appointed First Lord of the Admiralty despite never having served in the Navy. Having had family who served in the Royal Navy, the former lawyer, Gilbert, also likely drew on personal sources, albeit not to the extent of the courtroom drama, ‘Trial by Jury’. The success of ‘H.M.S. Pinafore’ led to many more collaborations between the duo.’ -winterharbormusicfestival.com

This woodwind quartet is advanced in difficulty with a 4:10 duration.
