The tale of Nanki-Poo and his passion for Yum-Yum has charmed audiences since its 1885 debut with graceful, well-loved melodies such as "Three little maids from school are we," "The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra-la," and many others. Now available in a newly edited, newly engraved full-score publication based on Sullivan's autograph and the first edition of the full score, this new performing edition by Ephraim Jones and Carl Simpson corrects many errors and incorporates Gilbert's later libretto changes.

An enduringly popular romantic spoof that has charmed countless listeners since its 1885 debut, The Mikado's appealing Japanese setting lends fresh novelty to Sullivan's winsome melodies and Gilbert's satirical verses. This new vocal score edition by Carl Simpson and Ephraim Hammett Jones includes all the voice parts, a piano reduction of the full score, and the complete libretto. This inexpensive edition exactly matches the excellent full score of The Mikado, also published by Dover, and prepared by the same editorial team. It will be indispensable to soloists, chorus members, and rehearsal pianists.

The Mikado Vocal Score (Dover Opera Scores)

The witty and rollicking tale of a young man apprenticed to a band of pirates too kindhearted for their own good, The Pirates of Penzance, or The Slave of Duty remains one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most beloved and frequently revived works. This newly engraved performing edition is based on Sullivan’s autograph, contemporary copyists’ scores, and both the first and second editions of the vocal score. It corrects numerous errors that have crept in over the years and is the first edition to offer performers the choice of using either the 1880 or 1908 versions of the Act II finale. Aficionados will be particularly delighted with the first accurate full score of the “Climbing over Rocky Mountain” section, which incorporates music from the legendary lost Gilbert and Sullivan operetta Thespis. Introduction by the editors. Instrumentation.

The Pirates of Penzance; in Full Score

In telling the story of Ralph, a lowly able seaman who has fallen in love with Josephine, the Captain's daughter, W. S. Gilbert poked fun at the snobbery and hypocrisy of the English social system of his day. The production was HMS Pinafore — a comic opera in two acts — which premiered in 1878 and turned out to be Gilbert and Sullivan's first smash hit. This exemplary new edition by Carl Simpson and Ephraim Hammett Jones — the same team that produced Dover's full scores and vocal scores of The Mikado and The Pirates of Penzance — have turned to the original manuscripts and early sources to produce handsome, newly engraved plates closest to Gilbert and Sullivan's first intentions. All voice parts are included, in addition to a piano reduction of the full score and the complete dialogue. Available for the first time in an authoritative and popularly priced edition, the meticulously prepared vocal score will be an indispensable rehearsal aid for soloists, chorus members, and pianists.

H.M.S. Pinafore Vocal Score (Dover Vocal Scores)

Since its premiere in 1885 at the Savoy Theatre in London, The Mikado (or The Town of Titipu) has become one of the most-performed pieces of musical theatre in history. As with many of Gilbert and Sullivan's productions, the show satirizes aspects of Victorian Britain's politics and aristocracy; in The Mikado, however, the duo cleverly cloaked these criticisms behind a charming story set not in Britain, but in exotic Japan.
