[N] Welcome back to Tuesday's A.T. Show.
Still to come this afternoon, the woman who's usually on in the morning, Lorraine Kelly.
First though, the music of two legendary British names is about to make a comeback.
Gilbert and Sullivan wrote their comic operas in the late 19th century.
But it's been 25 years since a major release of their work.
That's about to change though.
Thanks to my next guests.
Here performing modern Major General from the Pirates of Penzance, it's the Gala Ensemble.
[Eb]
I am the very model of a modern Major General.
I've information, vegetable, animal and mineral.
I know the kings of England and I [Bb] quote the fights historical.
From Marathon to Waterloo in order categorical.
I'm very well acquainted too with matters mathematical.
[Db] I understand [Gb] equations both the simple [Bb] and quadratical.
About my normal theorem I'm teeming with a [B] lot of news.
Ooh, lot of news.
Ah, with many simple facts but the [Bb] square of the hypotenuse.
With many simple facts but the square of the hypotenuse.
With many simple facts but the square of the hypotenuse.
[Eb] I am very good at integral and differential calculus.
I know the [Bb] scientific names of beings and [Gm] immaculate.
Short and modest, vegetable, animal [Eb] and mineral.
[Bb] I am the very model of a modern Major General.
Short and modest, vegetable, animal [Eb] and mineral.
He is the very model of a modern Major General.
I know our mythic history, the [Bb] artisans, the caradocs.
I answer hard acrostics, I have a pretty taste [Eb] of paradox.
Could in any diac, for the crimes of Hylia [Bb] Gaboulis.
In conics I can plop in Juliarities for Rappius.
I can tell under the Raphaels and [Db] Gerald Delsin's Orphanies.
I know the cooking chorus from the frogs of [Bb] Aristophanes.
And I can hum a [Ebm] fugue of which I've heard the music's Dinah [E] for.
Dinah for, Dinah for.
[B] Yes, and whistle all the airs from that [Bb] infernal lawn to Spinafore.
And whistle all the airs from that infernal lawn to Spinafore.
And whistle all the airs from that infernal lawn to Spinafore.
And whistle all the airs from that infernal lawn to Spinafore.
[Eb]
In fact, when I know what is meant by Mamelon and Rabelin.
[Bb] When I can tell [Eb] a sight, a mouth, a rifle from a javelin.
In such affairs of sorties and surprises I'm more wary-hat.
[Bb] And when I know precisely [Fm] what is [Bb] meant by commissariat.
[D] When I have learnt what progress [Ebm] has been made in afternoon TV.
[F] When I know more of gardening than [Gb] even good old Allen T.
[D] In fact, when I've a smattering [Ebm] of horticultural topiary.
Ooh, topiary.
Filigree?
Allen T?
Allen T?
[F]
[B] Aye, the say-affected major [Bb] general has never sat at the A.
The say-affected major general has never sat at the A.
[Eb] For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky [Bb] and adventury.
Has only been brought down to the [Eb] beginning of the [Bbm] century.
Still in matters vegetable, [F] animal and mineral.
I am a very moral lover, model, favorite general.
Still in matters vegetable, animal and mineral.
He is a very [Eb] moral lover.
[N]
Well done, sir.
Thank you very much.
Well done, sir.
I am deeply flattered to have become at last part of Gilbert's lyrics.
That's very kind.
Thank you very much.
It's a great CD, wonderful cover.
So you reckon that these are the sort of highlights on this CD?
Well, certainly some of the highlights.
We couldn't put more on there.
But we felt these represented the most famous ones we could think of.
Why do you think they're making a comeback?
Is it people at last?
Because sometimes it says that Gilbert was the best lyricist ever.
Yes.
These things go in and out of fashion.
And we just thought that you just need a little lift.
Because there's always a big ground support of amateur productions
going on all throughout the English-speaking world.
But it's time for it to have a bit of a rehash.
We've got the Carl Rosa Company now coming back with one.
And they're getting famous names in it now.
Joe Brown, Alistair McGowan,
Jonathan Ansell that we had on the show last week.
But I couldn't believe it was 25 years since the last recording.
Yes, I know.
Major companies have just avoided it.
But fortunately, Sony back in June got together with our musical directors,
Steve and Marcus, and thought, let's do a new album.
Well, here it is.
It's all on.
The Best of Gilbert and Sullivan.
The album is out on November 24th.
My thanks to the Gala Ensemble.
