The best of Gilbert & Sullivan
(Music CD)

disc 1. The yeoman of the guard. Overture --

Trial by jury. Hark the hour of ten is sounding ; When I, good friends, was call'd to the bar --

The sorcerer. My name is John Wellington Wells --

H.M.S. Pinafore. We sail the ocean blue ; I'm called Little Buttercup ; My gallant crew, good morning! ; I am the captain of the Pinafore ; When I was a lad/For I hold that on the seas ; Fair moon, to thee I sing ; Things are seldom what they seem ; Never mind the why and wherefore ; He is an Englishman --

The pirates of Penzance. Oh, better far to live and die ; Climbing over rocky mountain ; Oh, is there not one maiden breast ; Poor wandering one ; What ought we to do... How beautifully blue the sky ; I am the model of a modern major general ; When the foeman bares his steel ; When you had left our pirate fold ; Ah leave me not to pine ; When a felon's not engaged in his employment ; With cat-like tread --

Patience. I cannot tell what this love may be ; So go to him and say to him ; If Saphir I choose to marry --

disc 2. Iolanthe. March and entry of the peers : Loudly let the trumpet bray! ; The law is the true embodiment ; When I went to the bar ; When all night long a chap remains ; When Britain really ruled the waves ; Oh, foolish fay ; Nightmare song : Love, unrequited robs me of my rest ; When you're lying awake with a dismal headache ; If you go in --

Princess Ida. The woman of the wisest wit ; Would you know the kind of maid? ; Whene'er I spoke sarcastic joke --

The Mikado. A wand'ring minstrel I ; Behold the Lord High Executioner ; As some day it may happen ; Comes a train of little ladies ; Three little maids from school are we ; Were you not to Ko-Ko plighted ; Braid the raven hair ; The sun, whose rays are all ablaze ; Here's a how-de-do! ; A more humane Mikado ; The flowers that bloom in the spring ; On a tree by a river a little tom-tit ; There is beauty in the bellow of the blast ; For he's gone and married Yum-Yum --

Ruddigore. When the night wind howls ; My eyes are fully open to my awful situation --

disc 3. The yeoman of the guard. [Selections] --

The gondoliers. [Selections].
