The Mikado was the most famous of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas that took the English speaking world by storm in the second half of the 19th Century. This medley uses five selections from this famous work; Miya Sama, or the Entrance of the Mikado, A Wandering Minstrel I, Behold the Lord High Executioner!, On a Tree by a River, better known as "Tit Willow", and the rousing Here's a How-De-Do.
