On The Road To Mandalay- for Baritone and Orchestra. From a poem by Rudyard Kipling, set to music by Oley Speaks in 1907. On the road to Mandalay…Where the flyin’ fishes play! A rousing, hugely popular ballad from the turn of the 20th Century. The publication of On The road To Mandalay sold over a million copies of sheet music. It has been recorded numerous times by artists from Frank Sinatra to Thomas Hampson. Taken from Kipling’s Barrack-Room Ballads and Other Verses, the lyric tells the story of a Cockney soldier’s remembrance of his time spent in Burma (now Myanmar), his fondness for the city and the girl he left behind. By the time your soloist reaches the final chorus, the audience will be ready to join in…let them! Solo Baritone (A Flat- D)- 1111- 2110- Timp+4-hp- pf- str. Level: Advanced Intermediate.
