Description

Songs Of A Savoyard is a collection of lyrics written by W. S. Gilbert, the famous British playwright and librettist. The book contains the lyrics of some of Gilbert's most popular works, including his collaborations with composer Arthur Sullivan on the Savoy Operas. The lyrics are witty, satirical, and often poke fun at the social norms and conventions of Victorian England. The book includes songs from operettas such as H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, and The Mikado, as well as lesser-known works like The Grand Duke and Utopia Limited. The lyrics are accompanied by illustrations by the renowned artist Alice B. Woodward. Songs Of A Savoyard is a must-read for fans of Gilbert and Sullivan, as well as anyone interested in the history of British theatre and music.If you want a receipt for that popular mystery, Known to the world as a Heavy Dragoon, Take all the remarkable people in history, Rattle them off to a popular tune!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
