Tim Devlin filled in the details on the contents of this album:
|
Side 1
Take a pair of sparkling eyesThe sun whose rays Stay, Frederic, stay The nightingale sighed A maiden fair to see Prithee, pretty maiden |
|
Side 2
Were you not to Ko-Ko plightedA wand'ring minstrel I Kind sir, you cannot have the heart The battle's roar is over Is life a boon? A simple sailor lowly born Refrain audacious tar |
In 2002, the set was re-issued on CD called "The Romantic Gilbert & Sullivan," with the ensemble renamed The Salon Orchestra. Added on the CD are the ballad "Once Again" and the aria "I will arise" from Sullivan's first oratorio The Prodigal Son — sung by James Griffett with Simon Lindley (Director of Music, Leeds Parish Church, England); and the partsong "The Long Day Closes" sung by Pro Cantione Antiqua.
