- Dover Publications Scores — Both vocal and full orchestra scores in new editions by Carl Simpson and Ephraim Hammett Jones. They have turned to the original manuscripts and early sources to produce handsome, newly engraved plates closest to Gilbert and Sullivan's first intentions. All voice parts are included, in addition to the complete dialogue.
- G&S Arrangements — Reduced orchestration of H.M.S. Pinafore by Mark Hartt-Palmer available for hire. Either the complete score or individual numbers (suitable for concerts) are available.
- G&S Works, Inc. provides affordable, specialized orchestrations to theaters that require a smaller orchestra for their G&S operettas. These orchestrations provide a rich, full sound from a smaller ensemble. Three orchestrations are currently available: "The Pirates of Penzance," "H.M.S. Pinafore," and "The Gondoliers."
- IMSLP — Vocal score and band parts can be downloaded
as PDF files. The vocal score is an early edition which varies
significantly from those published by Cramer and Schirmer.
- Note8 Music Typesetting and Publishing — specializing in Gilbert and Sullivan orchestra materials. Typeset conductor's scores and orchestra parts for Sorcerer, Princess Ida, and Cox and Box. Rental of manuscript orchestra parts for Pinafore, Patience, Iolanthe, Mikado, and Yeomen.
- Opus 1 Music — Exclusive North American agents for rental of "The Newby Scores" of the 13 G&S operas. The arrangements are scored for as few as 12 or 13 instrumentalists (or as many as the music director cares to include) and still maintain a balanced, artistic accompaniment. The "Newby Scores" have been used all over the English-speaking world and are frequently employed in the various International Gilbert & Sullivan Festivals.
- Pattersong Music — Reduced orchestrations of The Mikado, Pirates, Iolanthe, HMS Pinafore & Patience are available for hire from Martin Paterson. The arrangements are ideal for use in smaller venues, where either a full orchestra would not fit in the space available, or where the full orchestral sound would be too much for the singers. Each arrangement is typically for Piano and 6-7 winds and strings.
-
PJ Music Works has produced a new orchestration, first performed by The Abbots Langley Gilbert and Sullivan Society in January 2011. This new arrangement has single wind and brass together with percussion and strings and can be performed effectively with 15 instrumentalists whilst providing colour and balance as close to the original as possible. Available for hire.
