Probably my favourite patter song to sing, with nice changes of pace and flashy fast bits...
From the 2008 Gosforth Musical Society production of 'The Sorcerer'. Filmed and edited by Nikolas Lloyd (Lindybeige)

  • Comic genius.........think Mel Brooks, Sid Caesar Zero Mostel Oliver. Puccini not Scarlatti .....DaPonte not Bach.

  • Great patter! But he's just too likeable. It's so wrong!

  • excellent performance

  • genius?!?!?! mozart and chopin are genius, this is not genius!!!

  • Great performance-- the soloist is really excellent. This is probably the most difficult patter songs to sing up to speed and this guy nailed it. Probably one of my favorite amateur performances of the song.

  • Great Opera this! And, very topical too. A bod who lives in the City of London, dealing out potions and conspires with an Officer of the Guards regiment and the local vicar to get an entire village stoned - with hilarious results!!! And this was written back in the 1870's. Makes you wonder doesn't it? But just where would we be without the genius of Gilbert & Sullivan? Life wouldn't be such a boon without their songs and tunes to cheer us.

  • Im playing in the orchestra for a production of this in Sanford right now. I love this song lol

  • Wow! The granddaddy of rap music!

  • simple superb example!  just what i was looking for
