Heres a virtual movie of the brilliantly gifted English humourist dramatist, librettist, poet and illustrator W. S. Gilbert reciting his satirical poem "Patience" from his Comic opera of the also called "Patience". or, Bunthorne's Bride, ia comic opera in two acts with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert. First performed at the Opera Comique, London, on 23 April 1881, it moved to the 1,292-seat Savoy Theatre on 10 October 1881, where it was the first theatrical production in the world to be lit entirely by electric light. Henceforth, the Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas would be known as the Savoy Operas, and both fans and performers of Gilbert and Sullivan would come to be known as "Savoyards."
Patience was the sixth operatic collaboration of fourteen between Gilbert and Sullivan. It ran for a total of 578 performances, which was seven more than the authors' earlier work, H.M.S. Pinafore, and the second longest run of any work of musical theatre up to that time, after the operetta Les Cloches de Corneville.
William Schwenck Gilbert was born at 17 Southampton Street, Strand, London on the 18th of November, 1836, the son of William Gilbert (a retired naval surgeon) and Anne Gilbert. He had, or rather obtained, three younger sisters: Jane, Maud and Florence.
Sir William Schwenck Gilbert[1] (18 November 1836 -- 29 May 1911) was an English dramatist, librettist, poet and illustrator best known for his fourteen comic operas produced in collaboration with the composer Sir Arthur Sullivan, of which the most famous include H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and one of the most frequently performed works in the history of musical theatre, The Mikado.[2] These, as well as most of their other Savoy operas, continue to be performed regularly throughout the English-speaking world and beyond by opera companies, repertory companies, schools and community theatre groups. Lines from these works have become part of the English language, such as "short, sharp shock", "What, never? Well, hardly ever!",[3] and "Let the punishment fit the crime".[4]
Gilbert also wrote the Bab Ballads, an extensive collection of light verse accompanied by his own comical drawings. His creative output included over 75 plays and libretti, numerous stories, poems, lyrics and various other comic and serious pieces. His plays and realistic style of stage direction inspired other dramatists, including Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw.[5] According to The Cambridge History of English and American Literature, Gilbert's "lyrical facility and his mastery of metre raised the poetical quality of comic opera to a position that it had never reached before and has not reached since".

Patience..........
If you're anxious for to shine in the high aesthetic line,
as a man of culture rare,
You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms,
and plant them everywhere.
You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your
complicated state of mind,
The meaning doesn't matter if it's only idle chatter
of a transcendental kind.
And everyone will say,
As you walk your mystic way,
"If this young man expresses himself in terms too deep for me,
Why, what a very singularly deep young man
this deep young man must be!"

A recital of extracts from "The Nightmare", a poem by Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836 -- 1911). Gilbert was an English dramatist, librettist, poet and illustrator best known for his fourteen comic operas produced in collaboration with the composer Sir Arthur Sullivan.
The full text of the poem is below -- the extracts included in the video recital are within quotation marks "". The recital in the video strays very slightly from this text.
A Nightmare
"When you're lying awake with a dismal headache, and repose is
taboo'd by anxiety,
I conceive you may use any language you choose to indulge in
without impropriety;
For your brain is on fire - the bedclothes conspire of usual
slumber to plunder you:
First your counterpane goes and uncovers your toes, and your sheet
slips demurely from under you;
Then the blanketing tickles - you feel like mixed pickles, so
terribly sharp is the pricking,
And you're hot, and you're cross, and you tumble and toss till
there's nothing 'twixt you and the ticking.
Then the bedclothes all creep to the ground in a heap, and you pick
'em all up in a tangle;
Next your pillow resigns and politely declines to remain at its
usual angle!
Well, you get some repose in the form of a doze, with hot eyeballs
and head ever aching,
But your slumbering teems with such horrible dreams that you'd very
much better be waking;"
For you dream you are crossing the Channel, and tossing about in a
steamer from Harwich,
Which is something between a large bathing-machine and a very small
second-class carriage;
And you're giving a treat (penny ice and cold meat) to a party of
friends and relations -
They're a ravenous horde - and they all came on board at Sloane
Square and South Kensington Stations.
And bound on that journey you find your attorney (who started that
morning from Devon);
He's a bit undersized, and you don't feel surprised when he tells
you he's only eleven.
Well, you're driving like mad with this singular lad (by the bye
the ship's now a four-wheeler),
And you're playing round games, and he calls you bad names when you
tell him that "ties pay the dealer";
But this you can't stand, so you throw up your hand, and you find
you're as cold as an icicle,
In your shirt and your socks (the black silk with gold clocks),
crossing Salisbury Plain on a bicycle:
And he and the crew are on bicycles too - which they've somehow or
other invested in -
And he's telling the tars all the particuLARS of a company he's
interested in -
It's a scheme of devices, to get at low prices, all goods from
cough mixtures to cables
(Which tickled the sailors) by treating retailers, as though they
were all vegeTAbles -
You get a good spadesman to plant a small tradesman (first take off
his boots with a boot-tree),
And his legs will take root, and his fingers will shoot, and
they'll blossom and bud like a fruit-tree -
From the greengrocer tree you get grapes and green pea,
cauliflower, pineapple, and cranberries,
While the pastry-cook plant cherry-brandy will grant - apple puffs,
and three-corners, and banberries -
The shares are a penny, and ever so many are taken by ROTHSCHILD
and BARING,
And just as a few are allotted to you, you awake with a shudder
despairing -
"You're a regular wreck, with a crick in your neck, and no wonder
you snore, for your head's on the floor, and you've needles and
pins from your soles to your shins, and your flesh is a-creep, for
your left leg's asleep, and you've cramp in your toes, and a fly on
your nose, and some fluff in your lung, and a feverish tongue, and
a thirst that's intense, and a general sense that you haven't been
sleeping in clover;
But the darkness has passed, and it's daylight at last, and the
night has been long - ditto, ditto my song - and thank goodness
they're both of them over!"

The Bab Ballads
W. S. GILBERT (1836 - 1911)
The Bab Ballads are a collection of light verse by W. S. Gilbert, illustrated with his own comic drawings. Gilbert wrote the Ballads before he became famous for his comic opera librettos with Arthur Sullivan. In writing the Bab Ballads, Gilbert developed his unique "topsy-turvy" style, where the humor was derived by setting up a ridiculous premise and working out its logical consequences, however absurd. The Ballads also reveal Gilbert's cynical and satirical approach to humor. They became famous on their own, as well as being a source for plot elements, characters and songs that Gilbert would recycle in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. The Bab Ballads take their name from Gilbert's childhood nickname, and he later began to sign his illustrations "Bab". Nothing else quite like the Ballads has ever been produced in the English language. They contain both satire and nonsense, as well as a great deal of utter absurdity. The Ballads were read aloud at private dinner-parties, public banquets and even in the House of Lords. Summary by Wikipedia and Phil Chenevert

I'm more and more falling under the spell of the topsy-turvydoom of the British power duo, Gilbert & Sullivan, especially after hearing "The Yeomen of the Guard", possibly, their best, most openly operatic and less topsy-turvy work.
A thorough libretto can be found here:
http://www.karadar.com/Librettos/sullivan_YEOMEN.html
No. 10 (noted are the order in which the pieces appear in the opera). Aria - "Though tear and long-drawn sigh". Elsie has but one aria in the work but it is one of the more intense pieces: Elsie has just been married to Fairfax and laments the fact that her married life will be all too brief, as she is completely sure that her groom will not live through the night. As most of Sullivan's ballads, the piece is given in couplet form but a wonderful crescendo of sound and emotion is achieved (particularly, in the use of rising string figures), thus a simple song is made into a true rise of feeling.
No. 11. Finale (only half of the finale is presented to save some time) - "The prisoner comes to meet his doom". The original finale is actually seventeen minutes long, including a lengthy ensemble, as the Yeomen greet "Leonard" (Fairfax in disguise). The presented piece starts midway through the finale, as the tower bells toll, announcing the beginning of the execution. A chorus of common people begins to sing a solemn prayer which is then elaborated by the additional of Elsie's voice to the morning music. Just as the prisoner is supposed to enter, the music changes its' direction, as Fairfax and the two yeomen sing a furiously confused couplet, narrating the absence of Fairfax himself (with all the cast and the whole chorus adding their voices to the repeat). A number of phrases/reactions to the occurrence is then given, with a special place given to Point's lightning-fast verse where he tries to dismiss the possibility that Elsie's husband is still alive, making his prospects rather slim.
Here is a list of performers who appear in these selections:
Robert Lloyd - Sir Richard Cholmondley,
Kurt Streit - Colonel Fairfax,
Stafford Dean - Sergeant Meryll,
Thomas Allen Jack Point,
Neil Mackie - First Yeoman,
Anthony Michaels-Moore - Second Yeoman,
Bryn Terfel - Wilfred Shadbolt,
Sylvia McNair - Elsie Maynard,
Jean Rigby - Phoebe Meryll,
Anne Collins - Dame Carruthers.
Hope you'll enjoy :)!

"The Yeomen of the Guard" opened at the Savoy Theatre in London on October 3, 1888 to great (if not spectacular) acclaim by the audience; while the critics immediately recognized the importance of the new work. One reviewer commented on "...the new departure they have made, exchanging the wild extravagances of the past for an altogether soberer style of opera, approaching more closely than they have done before the old school".
The opera is set in the Tower of London during the 16th century, and is the darkest, and perhaps most emotionally engaging, of the Savoy Operas, ending with a broken-hearted main character and two rather reluctant engagements, rather than the usual numerous marriages. The plot, in the simplest of terms, is as follows: Colonel Fairfax (tenor) is to be executed (for being an alchemist) at the Tower of London the same day as the piece begins to the common sorrow of Sergeant Meryll (bass-baritone), the head of the Yeomen, his daughter Phoebe (mezzo-soprano) and war hero/son, Leonard (tenor) who has arrived to the Tower to join the Yeomen. They hatch a plan to save him from break him out of prison by passing him off as Leonard. At the same time, Fairfax will lose his estate, if he dies unmarried. He asks if could get married to anyone and, in return, she will get a hundred crowns and become a widow within the hour. Jack Point (baritone) and Elsie Maynard (soprano) (who is loved by Jack), two strolling players, appear in the vicinity of the keep. Elsie is then asked to take part in the marriage and agrees: she is blindfolded and led away. Phoebe woos Wilfred (baritone), the head jailor, and gets the key to the cell door. It is soon time for the execution, but suddenly it is discovered that the prisoner's cell is empty. In Act Two Jack and Wilfred hatch a plan (which is successful): Wilfred swears that he shot Fairfax to allow Point to present the idea of marriage to Elsie. Fairfax realizes that the charming Elsie who he saw in the Act One finale was his bride. She enters and Fairfax decides to woo her in the guise of Leonard Meryll, much to the chagrin of Phoebe and Point. Left alone with Phoebe, Wilfred guesses the truth about Fairfax and blackmails the girl into agreeing to marry him. The close of the opera finds Elsie realizing that the man she loves is, in fact, the man she is married to, completely breaking Jack's heart.
I've decided to post several of my personal selections from the work which, in my opinion, is a rather powerful piece in its' own right. But it is the listener who must decide it for himself or herself, if the work is successful :).
A thorough libretto can be found here:
http://www.karadar.com/Librettos/sullivan_YEOMEN.html
No. 2 (noted are the order in which the pieces appear in the opera). Chorus & Arioso - "Tower warders under orders". To give a bit of an introduction to the piece, I've chosen the quite moving "lament" of the Yeomen who were once a powerful force but have since become nothing more than a purely symbolic unit. The chorus culminates in the simple solo of the Second Yeoman which is echoed by his comrades. This sorrowful song is contrasted by the simple folk's mocking chorus.
No. 5. Cavatina - "Is life a boon". Fairfax's first solo, finding him philosophically treating the idea of death, is actually the second version of that song. Gilbert thought that Sullivan's first setting (in 6/8 time) was too similar to many of the other tenor ballads in the Savoy Operas, and he urged the composer to rewrite it. It forms a wonderful contrast to most of Sullivan's ballads, featuring a strikingly marital accompaniment, completely in accordance with Fairfax's nobleness, and a great, if slightly sentimental, text.
No. 6. Duettino - "I have a song to sing, oh!". Sullivan had trouble setting one lyric in particular from the opera, "I have a song to sing, oh!", with its increasing length in each stanza. He asked Gilbert if he had anything in mind, and the latter hummed a few lines from a sea shanty, and Sullivan knew what to do. The two entertainers, in answer to the crowds quite aggressive demands, offer to perform the song of "The Merryman and his Maid": it tells of a lovelorn merryman who is jilted by a maiden in favor of an arrogant lord, but the latter rejects her, and returns on her knees to the merryman to beg for his love, and all ends happily (a quite wonderful ironic touch, as the opera deals with a complete reversal of thesituation).
No. 8. Aria - "I've jibe and jock". This delightful aria for Point, accompanied by flourishes of the flute and the plucking of the strings, sums up his character nicely, in effect, it is his formal introduction to the audience and the Lieutenant.
Here is a list of performers who appear in these selections:
Kurt Streit - Colonel Fairfax,
Thomas Allen Jack Point,
Anthony Michaels-Moore - Second Yeoman,
Sylvia McNair - Elsie Maynard.
Hope youll enjoy :)!

Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18 November 1836 – 29 May 1911) was an English dramatist, librettist, poet and illustrator best known for his fourteen comic operas produced in collaboration with the composer Sir Arthur Sullivan, of which the most famous include H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and one of the most frequently performed works in the history of musical theatre, The Mikado. These, as well as most of their other Savoy operas, continue to be performed regularly throughout the English-speaking world and beyond by opera companies, repertory companies, schools and community theatre groups. Lines from these works have become part of the English language, such as "short, sharp shock", "What, never? Well, hardly ever!", and "Let the punishment fit the crime".
Gilbert also wrote the Bab Ballads, an extensive collection of light verse accompanied by his own comical drawings. His creative output included over 75 plays and libretti, numerous stories, poems, lyrics and various other comic and serious pieces. His plays and realistic style of stage direction inspired other dramatists, including Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw. According to The Cambridge History of English and American Literature, Gilbert's "lyrical facility and his mastery of metre raised the poetical quality of comic opera to a position that it had never reached before and has not reached since".

Bryn Terfel Jones CBE (Welsh pronunciation: [ˈbrɨn ˈtɛrvɛl]; born 9 November 1965) is a Welsh bass-baritone opera and concert singer. Terfel was initially associated with the roles of Mozart, particularly Figaro and Leporello, but has subsequently shifted his attention to heavier roles, especially those by Wagner.
Bryn Terfel Jones was born in Pant Glas, North Wales, the son of a farmer. His first language is Welsh. He knew of another Welsh baritone named Bryn Jones, so chose Bryn Terfel as his professional name. He had an interest in and talent for music from a very young age. A family friend taught him how to sing, starting with traditional Welsh songs. After winning numerous competitions for his singing, he moved to London in 1984 and entered the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where he studied under Rudolf Piernay. (He has recorded that he initially applied to the music college in Cardiff but when the reply was addressed to ‘Miss Terfel’ he was so annoyed a Welsh College did not know Bryn was a man's name that he switched to London.) He graduated in 1989, winning both the Kathleen Ferrier Memorial Award and the Gold Medal. The same year he came second behind Dmitri Hvorostovsky in the Cardiff BBC Singer of the World Competition, but won the Lieder Prize.

By A Miserable Wretch 02:42:21 Gentle Alice Brown 02:43:54 The Bab Ballads W. S. GILBERT (1836 - 1911) The Bab Ballads are a collection of light verse by W. S. Gilbert, illustrated with his own comic drawings. Gilbert wrote the Ballads before he became famous for his comic opera librettos with Arthur Sullivan. In writing the Bab Ballads, Gilbert developed his unique "topsy-turvy" style, where the humor was derived by setting up a ridiculous premise and working out its logical consequences, however absurd. The Ballads also reveal Gilbert's cynical and satirical approach to humor. They became famous on their own, as well as being a source for plot elements, characters and songs that Gilbert would recycle in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. The Bab Ballads take their name from Gilbert's childhood nickname, and he later began to sign his illustrations "Bab". Nothing else quite like the Ballads has ever been produced in the English language. They contain both satire and nonsense, as well as a great deal of utter absurdity. The Ballads were read aloud at private dinner-parties, public banquets and even in the House of Lords.

I'm more and more falling under the spell of the topsy-turvydoom of the British power duo, Gilbert & Sullivan, especially after hearing "The Yeomen of the Guard", possibly, their best, most openly operatic and less topsy-turvy work. A thorough libretto can be found here: http://www.karadar.com/Librettos/sullivan_YEOMEN.html No. 10 (noted are the order in which the pieces appear in the opera). Aria - "Though tear and long-drawn sigh". Elsie has but one aria in the work but it is one of the more intense pieces: Elsie has just been married to Fairfax and laments the fact that her married life will be all too brief, as she is completely sure that her groom will not live through the night. As most of Sullivan's ballads, the piece is given in couplet form but a wonderful crescendo of sound and emotion is achieved (particularly, in the use of rising string figures), thus a simple song is made into a true rise of feeling. No. 11. Finale (only half of the finale is presented to save some time) - "The prisoner comes to meet his doom". The original finale is actually seventeen minutes long, including a lengthy ensemble, as the Yeomen greet "Leonard" (Fairfax in disguise). The presented piece starts midway through the finale, as the tower bells toll, announcing the beginning of the execution. A chorus of common people begins to sing a solemn prayer which is then elaborated by the additional of Elsie's voice to the morning music. Just as the prisoner is supposed to enter, the music changes its' direction, as Fairfax and the two yeomen sing a furiously confused couplet, narrating the absence of Fairfax himself (with all the cast and the whole chorus adding their voices to the repeat). A number of phrases/reactions to the occurrence is then given, with a special place given to Point's lightning-fast verse where he tries to dismiss the possibility that Elsie's husband is still alive, making his prospects rather slim. Here is a list of performers who appear in these selections: Robert Lloyd - Sir Richard Cholmondley, Kurt Streit - Colonel Fairfax, Stafford Dean - Sergeant Meryll, Thomas Allen Jack Point, Neil Mackie - First Yeoman, Anthony Michaels-Moore - Second Yeoman, Bryn Terfel - Wilfred Shadbolt, Sylvia McNair - Elsie Maynard, Jean Rigby - Phoebe Meryll, Anne Collins - Dame Carruthers. Hope you'll enjoy :)! -

"The Yeomen of the Guard" opened at the Savoy Theatre in London on October 3, 1888 to great (if not spectacular) acclaim by the audience; while the critics immediately recognized the importance of the new work. One reviewer commented on "...the new departure they have made, exchanging the wild extravagances of the past for an altogether soberer style of opera, approaching more closely than they have done before the old school". The opera is set in the Tower of London during the 16th century, and is the darkest, and perhaps most emotionally engaging, of the Savoy Operas, ending with a broken-hearted main character and two rather reluctant engagements, rather than the usual numerous marriages. The plot, in the simplest of terms, is as follows: Colonel Fairfax (tenor) is to be executed (for being an alchemist) at the Tower of London the same day as the piece begins to the common sorrow of Sergeant Meryll (bass-baritone), the head of the Yeomen, his daughter Phoebe (mezzo-soprano) and war hero/son, Leonard (tenor) who has arrived to the Tower to join the Yeomen. They hatch a plan to save him from break him out of prison by passing him off as Leonard. At the same time, Fairfax will lose his estate, if he dies unmarried. He asks if could get married to anyone and, in return, she will get a hundred crowns and become a widow within the hour. Jack Point (baritone) and Elsie Maynard (soprano) (who is loved by Jack), two strolling players, appear in the vicinity of the keep. Elsie is then asked to take part in the marriage and agrees: she is blindfolded and led away. Phoebe woos Wilfred (baritone), the head jailor, and gets the key to the cell door. It is soon time for the execution, but suddenly it is discovered that the prisoner's cell is empty. In Act Two Jack and Wilfred hatch a plan (which is successful): Wilfred swears that he shot Fairfax to allow Point to present the idea of marriage to Elsie. Fairfax realizes that the charming Elsie who he saw in the Act One finale was his bride. She enters and Fairfax decides to woo her in the guise of Leonard Meryll, much to the chagrin of Phoebe and Point. Left alone with Phoebe, Wilfred guesses the truth about Fairfax and blackmails the girl into agreeing to marry him. The close of the opera finds Elsie realizing that the man she loves is, in fact, the man she is married to, completely breaking Jack's heart. I've decided to post several of my personal selections from the work which, in my opinion, is a rather powerful piece in its' own right. But it is the listener who must decide it for himself or herself, if the work is successful :). A thorough libretto can be found here: http://www.karadar.com/Librettos/sullivan_YEOMEN.html No. 2 (noted are the order in which the pieces appear in the opera). Chorus & Arioso - "Tower warders under orders". To give a bit of an introduction to the piece, I've chosen the quite moving "lament" of the Yeomen who were once a powerful force but have since become nothing more than a purely symbolic unit. The chorus culminates in the simple solo of the Second Yeoman which is echoed by his comrades. This sorrowful song is contrasted by the simple folk's mocking chorus. No. 5. Cavatina - "Is life a boon". Fairfax's first solo, finding him philosophically treating the idea of death, is actually the second version of that song. Gilbert thought that Sullivan's first setting (in 6/8 time) was too similar to many of the other tenor ballads in the Savoy Operas, and he urged the composer to rewrite it. It forms a wonderful contrast to most of Sullivan's ballads, featuring a strikingly marital accompaniment, completely in accordance with Fairfax's nobleness, and a great, if slightly sentimental, text. No. 6. Duettino - "I have a song to sing, oh!". Sullivan had trouble setting one lyric in particular from the opera, "I have a song to sing, oh!", with its increasing length in each stanza. He asked Gilbert if he had anything in mind, and the latter hummed a few lines from a sea shanty, and Sullivan knew what to do. The two entertainers, in answer to the crowds quite aggressive demands, offer to perform the song of "The Merryman and his Maid": it tells of a lovelorn merryman who is jilted by a maiden in favor of an arrogant lord, but the latter rejects her, and returns on her knees to the merryman to beg for his love, and all ends happily (a quite wonderful ironic touch, as the opera deals with a complete reversal of thesituation). No. 8. Aria - "I've jibe and jock". This delightful aria for Point, accompanied by flourishes of the flute and the plucking of the strings, sums up his character nicely, in effect, it is his formal introduction to the audience and the Lieutenant. Here is a list of performers who appear in these selections: Kurt Streit - Colonel Fairfax, Thomas Allen Jack Point, Anthony Michaels-Moore - Second Yeoman, Sylvia McNair - Elsie Maynard. Hope youll enjoy :)! -

Patience Audiobook W. S. GILBERT Patience (Bunthorne's Bride) W. S. GILBERT (1836 - 1911) A comic operetta which is a satire on the themes of fashion and pretension and hero-worship. Bunthorne is a poet who pretends to be highly "idealised" in order to impress the ladies. They all worship him, except for Patience, the dairy maid, who is the only one he loves. However, his grand plan goes awry with the arrival of Grosvenor who is more idealised and more poetical then he is. The ladies all flock after Grosvenor instead, until Bunthorne curses him with poor fashion sense and stoutness! But will the curse bring Bunthorne his Patience?

5:24W.S. Gilbert's AGES AGO, "I Breathe, I Live"
W.S. Gilbert's AGES AGO, "I Breathe, I Live"W.S. Gilbert's AGES AGO, "I Breathe, I Live"
Written for the Royal Gallery of Illustration in 1869, "Ages Ago" tells the story of a rightful heir inheriting a castle. Before Arthur Sullivan, Gilbert wrote several shows with other composers, in this case Frederick Clay. The show was a success and was likely the springboard for the Savoy operas with Sullivan, whom he met during the run of this show. The aria "I Breathe, I Live" is sung by Lady Maud (Marcy Anthony), who, enabled by an ancient curse, steps alive from her picture frame. Ultimately, three portraits of ancestors from different eras come to life to ensure that the castle falls to its rightful heir. The idea of portraits coming to life was reused by Gilbert in the later "Ruddigore," but is more elaborate in this short work. In this 1974 production by the Comic Opera Guild, the original orchestration for piano and harmonium (a form of organ) was used. For more on comic operas and operettas, visit comicoperaguild.org -

The Nightmare by W. S. Gilbert
A recital of extracts from "The Nightmare", a poem by Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836 -- 1911). Gilbert was an English dramatist, librettist, poet and illustrator best known for his fourteen comic operas produced in collaboration with the composer Sir Arthur Sullivan. The full text of the poem is below -- the extracts included in the video recital are within quotation marks "". The recital in the video strays very slightly from this text.

Arthur Sullivan & W.S.Gilbert - The Yeomen of the Guard (1993 Marriner recording) - No. 2. "Though tear and long-drawn sigh" & "The prisoner comes to meet his doom" (Kurt Streit, Thomas Allen, Sylvia McNair, Jean Rigby, Bryn Terfel)
I'm more and more falling under the spell of the topsy-turvydoom of the British power duo, Gilbert & Sullivan, especially after hearing "The Yeomen of the Guard", possibly, their best, most openly operatic and less topsy-turvy work. A thorough libretto can be found here: http://www.karadar.com/Librettos/sullivan_YEOMEN.html No. 10 (noted are the order in which the pieces appear in the opera). Aria - "Though tear and long-drawn sigh". Elsie has but one aria in the work but it is one of the more intense pieces: Elsie has just been married to Fairfax and laments the fact that her married life will be all too brief, as she is completely sure that her groom will not live through the night. As most of Sullivan's ballads, the piece is given in couplet form but a wonderful crescendo of sound a... -
Arthur Sullivan & W.S.Gilbert - The Yeomen of the Guard (1993 Marriner recording) - No. 1. "Tower warders under orders", "Is life a boon", "I have a song to sing-O", "I've jibe and joke" (Kurt Streit, Thomas Allen, Anthony Michaels-Moore, Sylvia McNair)
"The Yeomen of the Guard" opened at the Savoy Theatre in London on October 3, 1888 to great (if not spectacular) acclaim by the audience; while the critics immediately recognized the importance of the new work. One reviewer commented on "...the new departure they have made, exchanging the wild extravagances of the past for an altogether soberer style of opera, approaching more closely than they have done before the old school". The opera is set in the Tower of London during the 16th century, and is the darkest, and perhaps most emotionally engaging, of the Savoy Operas, ending with a broken-hearted main character and two rather reluctant engagements, rather than the usual numerous marriages. The plot, in the simplest of terms, is as follows: Colonel Fairfax (tenor) is to be executed (for... -

Patience Audiobook W. S. GILBERT
Patience Audiobook W. S. GILBERT Patience (Bunthorne's Bride) W. S. GILBERT (1836 - 1911) A comic operetta which is a satire on the themes of fashion and pretension and hero-worship. Bunthorne is a poet who pretends to be highly "idealised" in order to impress the ladies. They all worship him, except for Patience, the dairy maid, who is the only one he loves. However, his grand plan goes awry with the arrival of Grosvenor who is more idealised and more poetical then he is. The ladies all flock after Grosvenor instead, until Bunthorne curses him with poor fashion sense and stoutness! But will the curse bring Bunthorne his Patience?

W.S. Gilbert's AGES AGO, "I Breathe, I Live"
Written for the Royal Gallery of Illustration in 1869, "Ages Ago" tells the story of a rightful heir inheriting a castle. Before Arthur Sullivan, Gilbert wrote several shows with other composers, in this case Frederick Clay. The show was a success and was likely the springboard for the Savoy operas with Sullivan, whom he met during the run of this show. The aria "I Breathe, I Live" is sung by Lady Maud (Marcy Anthony), who, enabled by an ancient curse, steps alive from her picture frame. Ultimately, three portraits of ancestors from different eras come to life to ensure that the castle falls to its rightful heir. The idea of portraits coming to life was reused by Gilbert in the later "Ruddigore," but is more elaborate in this short work. In this 1974 production by the Comic Opera Guild, t... -

The Disagreeable Man - FULL Audio Book - by Sir W. S. Gilbert
The Disagreeable Man - FULL Audio Book - by Sir W. S. Gilbert The Bab Ballads are a collection of light verse by W. S. Gilbert, illustrated with his own comic drawings. Gilbert wrote the Ballads before he became famous for his comic opera librettos with Arthur Sullivan. In writing the Bab Ballads, Gilbert developed his unique "topsy-turvy" style, where the humour was derived by setting up a ridiculous premise and working out its logical consequences, however absurd. The Ballads also reveal Gilbert's cynical and satirical approach to humour. They became famous on their own, as well as being a source for plot elements, characters and songs that Gilbert would recycle in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. The Bab Ballads take their name from Gilbert's childhood nickname, and he later began to s... -

Patience was the sixth operatic collaboration of fourteen between Gilbert and Sullivan. It ran for a total of 578 performances, which was seven more than the authors' earlier work, H.M.S. Pinafore, and the second longest run of any work of musical theatre up to that time, after the operetta Les Cloches de Corneville.
William Schwenck Gilbert was born at 17 Southampton Street, Strand, London on the 18th of November, 1836, the son of William Gilbert (a retired naval surgeon) and Anne Gilbert. He had, or rather obtained, three younger sisters: Jane, Maud and Florence.
Sir William Schwenck Gilbert[1] (18 November 1836 -- 29 May 1911) was an English dramatist, librettist, poet and illustrator best known for his fourteen comic operas produced in collaboration with the composer Sir Arthur Sullivan, of which the most famous include H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and one of the most frequently performed works in the history of musical theatre, The Mikado.[2] These, as well as most of their other Savoy operas, continue to be performed regularly throughout the English-speaking world and beyond by opera companies, repertory companies, schools and community theatre groups. Lines from these works have become part of the English language, such as "short, sharp shock", "What, never? Well, hardly ever!",[3] and "Let the punishment fit the crime".[4]
Gilbert also wrote the Bab Ballads, an extensive collection of light verse accompanied by his own comical drawings. His creative output included over 75 plays and libretti, numerous stories, poems, lyrics and various other comic and serious pieces. His plays and realistic style of stage direction inspired other dramatists, including Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw.[5] According to The Cambridge History of English and American Literature, Gilbert's "lyrical facility and his mastery of metre raised the poetical quality of comic opera to a position that it had never reached before and has not reached since".

Patience..........
If you're anxious for to shine in the high aesthetic line,
as a man of culture rare,
You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms,
and plant them everywhere.
You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your
complicated state of mind,
The meaning doesn't matter if it's only idle chatter
of a transcendental kind.
And everyone will say,
As you walk your mystic way,
"If this young man expresses himself in terms too deep for me,
Why, what a very singularly deep young man
this deep young man must be!"

A recital of extracts from "The Nightmare", a poem by Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836 -- 1911). Gilbert was an English dramatist, librettist, poet and illustrator best known for his fourteen comic operas produced in collaboration with the composer Sir Arthur Sullivan.
The full text of the poem is below -- the extracts included in the video recital are within quotation marks "". The recital in the video strays very slightly from this text.
A Nightmare
"When you're lying awake with a dismal headache, and repose is
taboo'd by anxiety,
I conceive you may use any language you choose to indulge in
without impropriety;
For your brain is on fire - the bedclothes conspire of usual
slumber to plunder you:
First your counterpane goes and uncovers your toes, and your sheet
slips demurely from under you;
Then the blanketing tickles - you feel like mixed pickles, so
terribly sharp is the pricking,
And you're hot, and you're cross, and you tumble and toss till
there's nothing 'twixt you and the ticking.
Then the bedclothes all creep to the ground in a heap, and you pick
'em all up in a tangle;
Next your pillow resigns and politely declines to remain at its
usual angle!
Well, you get some repose in the form of a doze, with hot eyeballs
and head ever aching,
But your slumbering teems with such horrible dreams that you'd very
much better be waking;"
For you dream you are crossing the Channel, and tossing about in a
steamer from Harwich,
Which is something between a large bathing-machine and a very small
second-class carriage;
And you're giving a treat (penny ice and cold meat) to a party of
friends and relations -
They're a ravenous horde - and they all came on board at Sloane
Square and South Kensington Stations.
And bound on that journey you find your attorney (who started that
morning from Devon);
He's a bit undersized, and you don't feel surprised when he tells
you he's only eleven.
Well, you're driving like mad with this singular lad (by the bye
the ship's now a four-wheeler),
And you're playing round games, and he calls you bad names when you
tell him that "ties pay the dealer";
But this you can't stand, so you throw up your hand, and you find
you're as cold as an icicle,
In your shirt and your socks (the black silk with gold clocks),
crossing Salisbury Plain on a bicycle:
And he and the crew are on bicycles too - which they've somehow or
other invested in -
And he's telling the tars all the particuLARS of a company he's
interested in -
It's a scheme of devices, to get at low prices, all goods from
cough mixtures to cables

a thirst that's intense, and a general sense that you haven't been

wn.com/The Nightmare By W. S. Gilbert
A recital of extracts from "The Nightmare", a poem by Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836 -- 1911). Gilbert was an English dramatist, librettist, poet and illustrator best known for his fourteen comic operas produced in collaboration with the composer Sir Arthur Sullivan.
The full text of the poem is below -- the extracts included in the video recital are within quotation marks "". The recital in the video strays very slightly from this text.
A Nightmare
"When you're lying awake with a dismal headache, and repose is
taboo'd by anxiety,
I conceive you may use any language you choose to indulge in
without impropriety;
For your brain is on fire - the bedclothes conspire of usual
slumber to plunder you:
First your counterpane goes and uncovers your toes, and your sheet
slips demurely from under you;
Then the blanketing tickles - you feel like mixed pickles, so
terribly sharp is the pricking,
And you're hot, and you're cross, and you tumble and toss till
there's nothing 'twixt you and the ticking.
Then the bedclothes all creep to the ground in a heap, and you pick
'em all up in a tangle;
Next your pillow resigns and politely declines to remain at its
usual angle!
Well, you get some repose in the form of a doze, with hot eyeballs
and head ever aching,
But your slumbering teems with such horrible dreams that you'd very
much better be waking;"
For you dream you are crossing the Channel, and tossing about in a
steamer from Harwich,
Which is something between a large bathing-machine and a very small
second-class carriage;
And you're giving a treat (penny ice and cold meat) to a party of
friends and relations -
They're a ravenous horde - and they all came on board at Sloane
Square and South Kensington Stations.
And bound on that journey you find your attorney (who started that
morning from Devon);
He's a bit undersized, and you don't feel surprised when he tells
you he's only eleven.
Well, you're driving like mad with this singular lad (by the bye
the ship's now a four-wheeler),
And you're playing round games, and he calls you bad names when you
tell him that "ties pay the dealer";
But this you can't stand, so you throw up your hand, and you find
you're as cold as an icicle,
In your shirt and your socks (the black silk with gold clocks),
crossing Salisbury Plain on a bicycle:
And he and the crew are on bicycles too - which they've somehow or
other invested in -
And he's telling the tars all the particuLARS of a company he's
interested in -
It's a scheme of devices, to get at low prices, all goods from
cough mixtures to cables
(Which tickled the sailors) by treating retailers, as though they
were all vegeTAbles -
You get a good spadesman to plant a small tradesman (first take off
his boots with a boot-tree),
And his legs will take root, and his fingers will shoot, and
they'll blossom and bud like a fruit-tree -
From the greengrocer tree you get grapes and green pea,
cauliflower, pineapple, and cranberries,
While the pastry-cook plant cherry-brandy will grant - apple puffs,
and three-corners, and banberries -
The shares are a penny, and ever so many are taken by ROTHSCHILD
and BARING,
And just as a few are allotted to you, you awake with a shudder
despairing -
"You're a regular wreck, with a crick in your neck, and no wonder
you snore, for your head's on the floor, and you've needles and
pins from your soles to your shins, and your flesh is a-creep, for
your left leg's asleep, and you've cramp in your toes, and a fly on
your nose, and some fluff in your lung, and a feverish tongue, and
a thirst that's intense, and a general sense that you haven't been
sleeping in clover;
But the darkness has passed, and it's daylight at last, and the
night has been long - ditto, ditto my song - and thank goodness
they're both of them over!"

The Bab Ballads
W. S. GILBERT (1836 - 1911)
The Bab Ballads are a collection of light verse by W. S. Gilbert, illustrated with his own comic drawings. Gilbert wrote the Ballads before he became famous for his comic opera librettos with Arthur Sullivan. In writing the Bab Ballads, Gilbert developed his unique "topsy-turvy" style, where the humor was derived by setting up a ridiculous premise and working out its logical consequences, however absurd. The Ballads also reveal Gilbert's cynical and satirical approach to humor. They became famous on their own, as well as being a source for plot elements, characters and songs that Gilbert would recycle in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. The Bab Ballads take their name from Gilbert's childhood nickname, and he later began to sign his illustrations "Bab". Nothing else quite like the Ballads has ever been produced in the English language. They contain both satire and nonsense, as well as a great deal of utter absurdity. The Ballads were read aloud at private dinner-parties, public banquets and even in the House of Lords. Summary by Wikipedia and Phil Chenevert

I'm more and more falling under the spell of the topsy-turvydoom of the British power duo, Gilbert & Sullivan, especially after hearing "The Yeomen of the Guard", possibly, their best, most openly operatic and less topsy-turvy work.
A thorough libretto can be found here:
http://www.karadar.com/Librettos/sullivan_YEOMEN.html
No. 10 (noted are the order in which the pieces appear in the opera). Aria - "Though tear and long-drawn sigh". Elsie has but one aria in the work but it is one of the more intense pieces: Elsie has just been married to Fairfax and laments the fact that her married life will be all too brief, as she is completely sure that her groom will not live through the night. As most of Sullivan's ballads, the piece is given in couplet form but a wonderful crescendo of sound and emotion is achieved (particularly, in the use of rising string figures), thus a simple song is made into a true rise of feeling.
No. 11. Finale (only half of the finale is presented to save some time) - "The prisoner comes to meet his doom". The original finale is actually seventeen minutes long, including a lengthy ensemble, as the Yeomen greet "Leonard" (Fairfax in disguise). The presented piece starts midway through the finale, as the tower bells toll, announcing the beginning of the execution. A chorus of common people begins to sing a solemn prayer which is then elaborated by the additional of Elsie's voice to the morning music. Just as the prisoner is supposed to enter, the music changes its' direction, as Fairfax and the two yeomen sing a furiously confused couplet, narrating the absence of Fairfax himself (with all the cast and the whole chorus adding their voices to the repeat). A number of phrases/reactions to the occurrence is then given, with a special place given to Point's lightning-fast verse where he tries to dismiss the possibility that Elsie's husband is still alive, making his prospects rather slim.
Here is a list of performers who appear in these selections:
Robert Lloyd - Sir Richard Cholmondley,
Kurt Streit - Colonel Fairfax,
Stafford Dean - Sergeant Meryll,
Thomas Allen Jack Point,
Neil Mackie - First Yeoman,
Anthony Michaels-Moore - Second Yeoman,
Bryn Terfel - Wilfred Shadbolt,
Sylvia McNair - Elsie Maynard,
Jean Rigby - Phoebe Meryll,
Anne Collins - Dame Carruthers.

"The Yeomen of the Guard" opened at the Savoy Theatre in London on October 3, 1888 to great (if not spectacular) acclaim by the audience; while the critics immediately recognized the importance of the new work. One reviewer commented on "...the new departure they have made, exchanging the wild extravagances of the past for an altogether soberer style of opera, approaching more closely than they have done before the old school".
The opera is set in the Tower of London during the 16th century, and is the darkest, and perhaps most emotionally engaging, of the Savoy Operas, ending with a broken-hearted main character and two rather reluctant engagements, rather than the usual numerous marriages. The plot, in the simplest of terms, is as follows: Colonel Fairfax (tenor) is to be executed (for being an alchemist) at the Tower of London the same day as the piece begins to the common sorrow of Sergeant Meryll (bass-baritone), the head of the Yeomen, his daughter Phoebe (mezzo-soprano) and war hero/son, Leonard (tenor) who has arrived to the Tower to join the Yeomen. They hatch a plan to save him from break him out of prison by passing him off as Leonard. At the same time, Fairfax will lose his estate, if he dies unmarried. He asks if could get married to anyone and, in return, she will get a hundred crowns and become a widow within the hour. Jack Point (baritone) and Elsie Maynard (soprano) (who is loved by Jack), two strolling players, appear in the vicinity of the keep. Elsie is then asked to take part in the marriage and agrees: she is blindfolded and led away. Phoebe woos Wilfred (baritone), the head jailor, and gets the key to the cell door. It is soon time for the execution, but suddenly it is discovered that the prisoner's cell is empty. In Act Two Jack and Wilfred hatch a plan (which is successful): Wilfred swears that he shot Fairfax to allow Point to present the idea of marriage to Elsie. Fairfax realizes that the charming Elsie who he saw in the Act One finale was his bride. She enters and Fairfax decides to woo her in the guise of Leonard Meryll, much to the chagrin of Phoebe and Point. Left alone with Phoebe, Wilfred guesses the truth about Fairfax and blackmails the girl into agreeing to marry him. The close of the opera finds Elsie realizing that the man she loves is, in fact, the man she is married to, completely breaking Jack's heart.
I've decided to post several of my personal selections from the work which, in my opinion, is a rather powerful piece in its' own right. But it is the listener who must decide it for himself or herself, if the work is successful :).
A thorough libretto can be found here:
http://www.karadar.com/Librettos/sullivan_YEOMEN.html
No. 2 (noted are the order in which the pieces appear in the opera). Chorus & Arioso - "Tower warders under orders". To give a bit of an introduction to the piece, I've chosen the quite moving "lament" of the Yeomen who were once a powerful force but have since become nothing more than a purely symbolic unit. The chorus culminates in the simple solo of the Second Yeoman which is echoed by his comrades. This sorrowful song is contrasted by the simple folk's mocking chorus.
No. 5. Cavatina - "Is life a boon". Fairfax's first solo, finding him philosophically treating the idea of death, is actually the second version of that song. Gilbert thought that Sullivan's first setting (in 6/8 time) was too similar to many of the other tenor ballads in the Savoy Operas, and he urged the composer to rewrite it. It forms a wonderful contrast to most of Sullivan's ballads, featuring a strikingly marital accompaniment, completely in accordance with Fairfax's nobleness, and a great, if slightly sentimental, text.
No. 6. Duettino - "I have a song to sing, oh!". Sullivan had trouble setting one lyric in particular from the opera, "I have a song to sing, oh!", with its increasing length in each stanza. He asked Gilbert if he had anything in mind, and the latter hummed a few lines from a sea shanty, and Sullivan knew what to do. The two entertainers, in answer to the crowds quite aggressive demands, offer to perform the song of "The Merryman and his Maid": it tells of a lovelorn merryman who is jilted by a maiden in favor of an arrogant lord, but the latter rejects her, and returns on her knees to the merryman to beg for his love, and all ends happily (a quite wonderful ironic touch, as the opera deals with a complete reversal of thesituation).
No. 8. Aria - "I've jibe and jock". This delightful aria for Point, accompanied by flourishes of the flute and the plucking of the strings, sums up his character nicely, in effect, it is his formal introduction to the audience and the Lieutenant.
Here is a list of performers who appear in these selections:
Kurt Streit - Colonel Fairfax,
Thomas Allen Jack Point,
Anthony Michaels-Moore - Second Yeoman,
Sylvia McNair - Elsie Maynard.

Patience (Bunthorne's Bride)
W. S. GILBERT (1836 - 1911)
A comic operetta which is a satire on the themes of fashion and pretension and hero-worship. Bunthorne is a poet who pretends to be highly "idealised" in order to impress the ladies. They all worship him, except for Patience, the dairy maid, who is the only one he loves. However, his grand plan goes awry with the arrival of Grosvenor who is more idealised and more poetical then he is. The ladies all flock after Grosvenor instead, until Bunthorne curses him with poor fashion sense and stoutness! But will the curse bring Bunthorne his Patience? (Summary by Beth Thomas)

Written for the Royal Gallery of Illustration in 1869, "Ages Ago" tells the story of a rightful heir inheriting a castle. Before Arthur Sullivan, Gilbert wrote several shows with other composers, in this case Frederick Clay. The show was a success and was likely the springboard for the Savoy operas with Sullivan, whom he met during the run of this show.
The aria "I Breathe, I Live" is sung by Lady Maud (Marcy Anthony), who, enabled by an ancient curse, steps alive from her picture frame. Ultimately, three portraits of ancestors from different eras come to life to ensure that the castle falls to its rightful heir. The idea of portraits coming to life was reused by Gilbert in the later "Ruddigore," but is more elaborate in this short work. In this 1974 production by the Comic Opera Guild, the original orchestration for piano and harmonium (a form of organ) was used. For more on comic operas and operettas, visit comicoperaguild.org

Discover the love of your afterlife with the newly adapted version of W.S Gilbert's tale of horror, laughter and love. In the haunted Scottish Castle of Glen Cockaleekie, where the title deed to the castle is only found once every hundred years, Sir Ebenezer Tare has taken over the castle and refuses to let his niece Rosa marry her poor suitor, Columbus. The housekeeper, has second sight. She tells how the ghosts of the past will return for the 100th anniversary to choose the new owner of Glen Cockaleekie. That night, the paintings of the castle's former owners come to life and step out of their frames. However, they are all longing for one thing: true love.

The Disagreeable Man - FULL Audio Book - by Sir W. S. Gilbert
The Bab Ballads are a collection of light verse by W. S. Gilbert, illustrated with his own comic drawings. Gilbert wrote the Ballads before he became famous for his comic opera librettos with Arthur Sullivan. In writing the Bab Ballads, Gilbert developed his unique "topsy-turvy" style, where the humour was derived by setting up a ridiculous premise and working out its logical consequences, however absurd. The Ballads also reveal Gilbert's cynical and satirical approach to humour. They became famous on their own, as well as being a source for plot elements, characters and songs that Gilbert would recycle in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. The Bab Ballads take their name from Gilbert's childhood nickname, and he later began to sign his illustrations "Bab".
Nothing else quite like the Ballads has ever been produced in the English language. They contain both satire and nonsense, as well as a great deal of utter absurdity. The Ballads were read aloud at private dinner-parties, public banquets and even in the House of Lords. The ballads have been much published, and there are even recordings of readings of some of them.
BACKGROUND ON AUTHOR
Sir William Schwenck Gilbert[1] (18 November 1836 -- 29 May 1911) was an English dramatist, librettist, poet and illustrator best known for the fourteen comic operas (known as the Savoy operas) produced in collaboration with the composer Sir Arthur Sullivan. The most famous of these are H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and one of the most frequently performed works in the history of musical theatre, The Mikado.[2] These, as well as several of the other Savoy operas, continue to be frequently performed in the English-speaking world and beyond by opera companies, repertory companies, schools and community theatre groups. Lines from these works have become part of the English language, such as "short, sharp shock", "What, never? Well, hardly ever!",[3] and "Let the punishment fit the crime".[4]
Gilbert also wrote the Bab Ballads, an extensive collection of light verse accompanied by his own comical drawings. His creative output included over 75 plays and libretti, numerous stories, poems, lyrics and various other comic and serious pieces. His plays and realistic style of stage direction inspired other dramatists, including Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw.[5] According to The Cambridge History of English and American Literature, Gilbert's "lyrical facility and his mastery of metre raised the poetical quality of comic opera to a position that it had never reached before and has not reached since".
