March of the Peers (Sullivan)

Stirring stuff from the most quintessentially British of the Gilbert and Sullivan Savoy operas. W.S. Gilbert's libretto pokes gently fun at the House of the Lords, but Sullivan's music allows them all their pomp. This wonderful March of the Peers is now brought well within the grasp of young bands.
