Phillip Sear plays a piano arrangement of an aria from Sullivan's 1880 oratorio 'The Martyr of Antioch' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sir Arthur Sullivan needs no introduction from me - famous of course for his operetta collaborations with W.S. Gilbert. Actually, Gilbert helped with the libretto of Sullivan's 1880 oratorio, 'The Martyr of Antioch' from which this aria comes. It is sung by the Roman prefect Olybius to Margarita, but she rejects his love because she is Christian and he is a heathen. You can actually hear the aria sung on YouTube by Edward Lloyd, who created the role of Olybius. This arrangement comes from a piano version of an 1898 suite arranged by Wilfred Ellington Bendall (1850-1920). Bendall studied at the Leipzig conservatory, and was himself a composer of operas and cantatas.
