His fondness for good tunes, with which G\u0026amp;S operettas abound, led to this collection, created with longtime collaborator and arranger David Overton. The Gilbert and Sullivan arrangements are divided into separate albums, as some of the songs are best suited to solo flute and piano, some for two flutes and piano, and some lend themselves to a flute choir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDance a Cachucha (Gondoliers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf we’re weak enough to tarry (Iolanthe)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNone shall part us (Iolanthe)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe’re called Gondoliers (Gondoliers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Sir Arthur Sullivan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSir Arthur Sullivan (1842 – 1900) was an English composer.
