I've noticed that there are no videos of the complete overture of this operetta in good quality, so here's one. Enjoy.
Music by Sir Arthur Sullivan.

Alfred Cellier was musical director and conductor for the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company at the time of the premieres of H.M.S. Pinafore (in the UK) and The Pirates of Penzance (in the US). According to the Wikipedia article for Cellier, he wrote the overtures to both productions, based of course on Arthur Sullivan's music. The Wikipedia article includes references for this. Robert Russell Bennett had the same responsibility in preparing productions of musicals by Jerome Kern and Richard Rodgers.

It's good, but it could have been done better. EG, sounding more fun at the start.
