I've had the same question about "Babes." If you could get a copy of the original conductor's score you'd be in great shape. It's hard to say how much any of the "adapted" versions' scores are original and how much are upated. Often "arrangers" who want the royalties for a republished version will change the third note in the tenor line in the fourth measure, then claim the work is a derivative work they have the right to copyright as their own. In addition, the score MAY have changed as the script was rewritten, which has happened a lot to this piece.

The 1903 script itself was reprinted in 1999 or so. Search for ISBN # 0824953436 on Amazon, and you'll track it down. I understand that one reason the script is revised so often is that the original is really lame. Remember, in 1903, the purpose of dialogue was to get from one tune to the next, and BIT was largely popular because of the extravagant sets and costumes. . . .

Hope this helps. Also, please let me know if you track down a "public domain" score.

Thanks,

Paul
