Hail Poetry

This tribute to verse by William is magnificently scored by Arthur. The ephemeral piece enters the Pirates of Penzance like a summer breeze and disappears abruptly like mist. Please join in and enjoy the majesty of their beautiful anthem to Poetry . . .

 

 

 

Hail, Poetry, 
Thou heaven-born maid!
Thou gildest e'en the pirate's trade.
Hail, flowing fount of sentiment!
All hail, all hail, divine emollient!

 

 

 

That was very brief wasn't it? Like to sing it Again . . .?
