Sir James Galway first came upon Gilbert and Sullivan's wonderful operettas while playing with Sadler's Wells Opera orchestra; which later became English National Opera. His fondness for good tunes; with which the G&S operettas abound; led to this collection; created with longtime collaborator and arranger David Overton. The Gilbert and Sullivan arrangements are divided into separate albums; as some of the songs are best suited to solo flute and piano; some for two flutes and piano; and some lend themselves to a flute choir. This volume for flute and piano contains: A wand'ring minstrel I (Mikado); “On a tree by a river (Mikado)”; Poor wand'ring one (Pirates); “Take a pair of sparkling eyes (Gondoliers)”; The flowers that bloom in the spring (Mikado); The sun whose rays (Mikado); When a merry maiden marries (Gondoliers)
