Description
Taken from the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta Iolanthe, this cleverly titled work is a crowd-pleasing and melodic highlight. Despite the “unfortunate” title, the music is characteristically Sullivanâbright, tuneful, and expertly constructed. David Marlattâs arrangement ensures the brass band sounds at its most brilliant, making it a fantastic showpiece for the ensembleâs technical precision and dynamic range. It is a great choice for light-music programs or theatrical-themed concerts.
Difficulty 3
(Medium) Fourth year players, or junior high-level students may require these arrangements to be properly challenged. These generally have free use of syncopation as well as section and solo scoring. Cues and cross cues will also be used less.
