A short arrangement for solo banjo of the stunning Gilbert & Sullivan tune from The Pirates of Penzance.

A sneak preview of a four-song sampler I'll be passing out to my friends for Valentine's day.

Very nicely done. You've re-imbued with reverence a passage which, in the play, is dripping with goofy irony.

You bring a distinctively baroque sensibility to this piece. This is a fine pairing with the folk sounds of the banjo indeed. Repeat: Thank you WH.

I love the idea of making a melancholy banjo instrumental out of a comic operetta song. Nicely done!
