Description
This exemplary new edition of the vocal score of an enchanting operetta—which has delighted audiences for over a century together with its catchy melodies, its witty lyrics, and its madcap taleof tender-hearted pirates, timid policemen, and the demands of duty—was prepared by musicologists Carl Simpson and Ephraim Hammett Jones, who returned to original manuscripts and early sources to produce handsome, newly engraved plates closest to Gilbert and Sullivan’s original intentions. All of the voice parts be visible here, in addition to a piano reduction of the full score and the complete libretto. Introduction by the editors. Contents. Instrumentation.

Customer Reviews
Customer rating is 4 of 5  The very model of a modern libretto?   2009-02-28
By Donald Shirer (Westbrook, CT.)
The standard version of G&S's "Pirates". Most production companies will use this edition, but I've always thought that it could be improved by including a description of some of the classic stage business that has become attached to it, if only as a benchmark to improve on.
Customer rating is 1 of 5  Not a Music Note in It!   2007-01-12
By K. B. Peterson (Idaho, USA)
Be aware that this book does not have a single musical note in it! I ordered 30 copies for a production I am directing and when the book came, it is only the dialogue and the lyrics to the music. You can download that much from the internet! I don't know why the other reviewers talk about it being a vocal score. It has no music in it. If you want to get a vocal score, this is not your ticket. Besides, this book is a copy of another book. Amazon says the book is 48 pages long, but the script is only 20 pages and the other pages are blank. I am sending this back and getting the Shirmer edition.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Pray Observe the Magnanimity...   2006-07-15
By Tony Kelly (Rome, GA USA)
I used this score in a production of Pirates at my university, and from the standpoint of a cast member it was excellent. It outlined each part and was easy to read. At any point where scores between production years differ, this handy volume recounts them all with notes as to which part belongs with which year. My only complaints are that it is not ring-bound (regular paperback binding, harder to hold on to/use) and some harmony parts are difficult to pick out because they divide on the page turn and appear at different parts of the page. Other than that, it is a wonderful score and I would recommend it to anyone interested in producing this enchanting operetta.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Different editions   2002-02-28
By Steven Jong (Westford, MA United States)
We're staging a production of "Pirates" in April 2002, and we have two editions of this score by G. Schirmer. The cheaper one is for the chorus, and has just the choral passages. The more expensive one (listed here) has the complete vocal music and dialogue.

I have seen both, and would rate them at five stars except that the original page plates are a little dirty, introducing some confusing dots and spots.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Good version   2001-12-07
By C. A Baker (Santa Rosa CA United States)
I'm not sure what an earlier reviewer is saying about this score not having the solo stuff. This book has the complete score and dialoge. I've used it for two productions of POP and it is missing nothing.
Unless this is a different edition than the one I have..but it has the exact same cover and credits so I doubt it.
