Product Description
A song from Gilbert & Sullivan's operetta Iolanthe, arranged for semi-flexible woodwind combination of two flutes plus either B-flat clarinet or bassoon. This jaunty tune could be a fun recital piece or just a nice addition to general repertoire.
W S Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan were major figures in musical
theatre of the Victorian era, collaborating on a series of extremely popular
comic operettas, which lampooned some of the fashions and conventions of the
time.
This duet from the second act of Iolanthe involves Strephon, the half-fairy, half-mortal son of the
titular character, and Phyllis, the lady whom he loves. The two have just become reconciled after a
rift and recognise that they should marry quickly, before they lose their
attraction for one another, or one of them falls for someone else.
