The Balkan Princess sheet music

The Balkan Princess is represented here by three vocal-and-piano scores naming Paul Rubens as composer: “14. Wonderful World”, “Here in stately queue”, and “18. A Man’s a Man”. Each is an individual titled number with different voice parts and opening markings, so compare the versions before choosing.

Sheet music

Three individual numbers

The available scores are separate titled numbers rather than a single complete presentation. “14. Wonderful World” is listed for soprano and piano; “Here in stately queue” is labelled SATB and lists soprano, alto, tenor, bass and piano; “18. A Man’s a Man” lists tenor, Kvinner, Menn and piano. Choose by the voice parts and number you need rather than assuming one score covers the whole work.

Scoring at a glance

All three scores include piano and voices, but the vocal layouts differ. “Wonderful World” is the most compact listing, with soprano and piano only. “Here in stately queue” uses an SATB disposition. “A Man’s a Man” combines tenor with the parts labelled Kvinner and Menn, plus piano.

Opening keys, metres and tempos

“14. Wonderful World” opens with no sharps or flats, in 3/4, at a listed 110 BPM. “Here in stately queue” opens with one flat, in 4/4, at 100 BPM. “18. A Man’s a Man” opens with two flats, in 4/4, at 80 BPM. These are opening markings for the individual scores and may not describe later changes.

What remains unverified

Historical context for Paul Rubens and authoritative identification of the work would require separate verification.
