Grand Vizier's Song from "The Burlesque Opera Tabasco"

composed by George Whitefield Chadwick in 1894 performed by Adam Leftwich and the Hradec Kralove Philharmonic with conductor Paul Mauffray A clever little song from this lost operetta which was only recently reconstructed and had not been performed for the past 120 years! Can you find the moment where Chadwick quotes a motive from Wagner's Ring? LYRICS: Grand Vizier: I’m Vizier here, I’m always in mishap, Fortune declines to hold me in her lap, To many life is one delightful snap, but not to me. I seem to be society’s doormat, And seldom know exactly where I’m at, And when I fry to others comes the fat, but not to me. The market slumps whenever I take hold, And gets a boom as soon as I have sold, To others come the coupons and the gold, but not to me. I get the shade when others greet the sun, I have the crust the Pasha yanks the bun, To all the rest my fate is only fun, but not to me. I had a maid as fair as very June, I’ve told my love beneath the silvery moon, she’s going to be married Thursday noon, … but not to me! #tabasco #gilbertandsullivan #tabascoopera Copyright notice: This recording is under copyright, and further distribution or use of this recording is only allowed with written permission and licensing from Paul Mauffray and McIlhenny company. © Paul Mauffray 2015 www.paulmauffray.com
