Caveat Emptor
The cover page of the Schirmer edition of Trial by Jury reads "This score contains all the dialogue." Technically, this claim is correct: the score contains no dialogue whatsoever and neither does the show. Otherwise, this is a well-edited and usable edition of Gilbert and Sullivan's shortest collaboration.

TRIAL BY JURY - Gilbert & Sullivan's short comedy
Although I've never actually been in the show, a friend gave me a copy of the vocal score. After downloading MIDI versions of the songs (I'm not a very good piano player), I fell in love with the comedic songs. This is light opera at its best! If you are involved with an amateur/high school group, this is an ideal production. It is approx. 30-45 minutes in length and...

TRIAL BY JURY - Gilbert & Sullivan's short comedy,
By Timothy (Alabama) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trial by Jury: Vocal Score (Paperback)
Although I've never actually been in the show, a friend gave me a copy of the vocal score. After downloading MIDI versions of the songs (I'm not a very good piano player), I fell in love with the comedic songs. This is light opera at its best! If you are involved with an amateur/high school group, this is an ideal production. It is approx. 30-45 minutes in length and is full of comedy and wit. However, I only rate it 3 stars do to the fact that this is British humor (not that I don't like British humor--some people have a hard time understanding it) and the tunes (though funny) are hardly "catchy." The score contains 15 songs (and my personal favorite is the Judge's "When I, Good Friends, Was Called to the Bar") It should be noted that this particular version of the score contains optional notes for amateur groups. |
