Program Note

Gilbert was quite nervous on opening night of Yeomen, fearing that the audience would not accept the succession of serious moments with which the show begins. Consequently, in a fit of self-doubt, he cut an outstanding song for Sergeant Meryll which was appropriate in mood to the scene. As in our 1980 Yeomen,  this song has been restored in this production.
