PIRATES!
Among the most popular operettas of the 19th century, Gilbert andSullivan’s Pirates of Penzance is filled with delightful tunes andmemorable musical moments. This thoroughly playable arrangementincludes three of its famous numbers, “I Am a Pirate King,” “PoorWandering One,” and the ever-popular “Major General.” All sections ofthe orchestra get a chance to play a melody during the piece. Thearrangement is filled with interesting rhythms, contrasting tempi, andexpressive dynamics. With a mood of light-hearted excitement, studentswill be motivated by a final tongue-in-cheek challenge to play it again,“only this time, really fast!”
