About Henry VIII
Arthur Sullivan's music for Henry VIII is the fourth of the composer's sets of incidental music for Shakespeare plays. It consists of four sections – one of them vocal – later arranged by Sullivan into a concert suite. The music was first heard in the production of Henry VIII at the Theatre Royal, Manchester, in August 1877; the suite was premiered at the Crystal Palace, London, two months later. It is not among Sullivan's best-known music, but the full score has been published and the suite recorded for CD.
