Our Opening Discount: “Royal Sec, A champagne Gallop

This upcoming holiday season, VHSource will spotlight the amazing work, “Royal Sec, A Champagne Gallop”. Think the “Waiters’ Gallop” in Hello Dolly. However, “Royal Sec” was composed by Herbert pre-1886 in Stuttgart, Germany, as a class exercise. The “Waiters’ Gallop” was composed by Jerry Herman for Broadway in 1964. That’s a 78 year difference and light years away culturally.

The freshness of the Herbert work will thrill your audiences. It’s the perfect piece to play to urge crowds back to their seats. It lasts long enough to get everyone seated once more and just short enough to prepare listeners for the wonderful offerings you have chosen for the second half of the concert. It’s also perfect for New Year’s Eve Galas.

We welcome this wonderful new site with a great discount for those wishing to give “Royal Sec” a try. Normal price is $50.00. To celebrate this new website, take $10 off now through December 31, 2022 and live a little.

As always, Herbert materials are in the Public Domain, so you are purchasing a perfect addition to your music library. All Royal Sec materials are stand ready, but also will enlarge well on your photocopier. You get Herbert’s own original orchestrations as he created them, in new wonderfully restored score and parts, in this case courtesy of the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra.

Check out the number of works by Victor Herbert. You have just scratched the surface. We’ll keep adding them a few each month. Some you’ll know and some you’ll never have heard of. That is the joy of Victor Herbert, the foundation of the American Theatrical Composing World.
