You are purchasing high quality sheet music PDF files suitable for printing or viewing on digital devices.A favourite from Gilbert & Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance, carefully arranged for mixed woodwind trio of flute, oboe and clarinet in B-flat.
The Paradox trio, ‘When you had left our pirate fold’ comes from the second act of The Pirates of Penzance (or the Slave of Duty). Apprentice pirate Frederic has reached the age of 21 so should now be free to dissociate himself from his band of pirates. The paradox of the title is the revelation that, as he was born on 29th February, he has not yet attained his 21st birthday so, by the strict interpretation of the apprenticeship rules, he remains bound almost indefinitely.
