Pinafore  arranged for woodwind quintet by Bill Holcombe Jr.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis woodwind quintet is advanced in difficulty with a 4:10 duration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musicians Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968686706982,"sku":"MPWQ304","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/700000000MPWQ304_d.jpg?v=1697517489","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/sullivan-a-h-m-s-pinafore","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
