A British Tar is one of the most popular songs from Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta HMS Pinafore, and it deserves to be sung more widely. Here it is arranged by Philip Le Bas for unaccompanied barbershop quartet from the original trio plus orchestra/piano. In the operetta the song is supposedly composed by Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty, to encourage independence of thought and action in the lower branches of the service [the Navy], and to teach the principle that a British sailor is any man's equal. It should be sung with as much mock pomp as can be mustered, and the arranger suggests that in bars 10 to 16 and again bars 42 to 48 the first bass singer(s) should (especially when singing to a foreign audience) clearly indicate which part of the sailor's body is being referred to!

The Skye Boat Song is a romantic and political song about the escape of Bonnie Prince Charlie from the English across the ocean (little more than a mile or two!) after the battle of Culloden in 1746. This a new arrangement of the traditional Scottish folksong for 4-part male voice barbershop choir by Philip Le Bas is intended to be reasonably straightforward to sing, but with plenty of dramatic intensity. There is sense of tragedy in the song, but notice the final dark threat that Charlie will come again....

March of the Men of Harlech is the Welsh National Hymn. Here it is arranged by John Hyatt Brewer (1856-1931) and adapted by Philip Le Bas for a cappella TTBB choir (plus solo.) It is admittedly a thoroughly violent, anti-Saxon (yes, that ancient!) marching song, but it deserves to be sung as the melody is so well-loved and it is so full of drama and excitement. Extra sound effects are introduced by the solo part imitating trumpets and drums, and by all the singers with loud (on the spot?) bootsteps! Brewer's harmonization also keeps the interest up through both verses. Pace Welshmen, perhaps this could be hammed up a little?

An accessible and unashamedly romantic arrangement for male barbershop quartet of Henry Mancini's song Moon River with lyrics by Jonny Mercer. The song was first sung by Audrey Hepburn, but it is remembered especially for Andy Williams' rendition at the start of each of his television shows in the 1960s. This version particularly brings out Mancini's gorgeous harmonies, as the tune is passed from one singer to another.
