Of all of Ivor Novello's hugely-successful musicals, "Perchance to Dream" received the longest run of performances, 1020 in all, at the London Hippodrome, starting in April 1945. The smash hit was "We'll Gather Lilacs", which resonated with the feeling that the war in Europe was nearly over and that many were soon to be reunited with their loved ones after long absences. The song was published separately just before the musical was launched and Ivor was well aware that he might be able to match the success that "Keep the Home Fires Burning" had had in the Great War.
In "We'll Gather Lilacs" there are three alternatives given for performance, bearing in mind that the sheet music version has two verses, neither of which appear in the musical, but will be familiar to many. For this version, follow the instructions in the score. To keep with the cast recording from the musical, after the eight-bar introduction, omit the verses as instructed. However, a third alternative is to carry straight on throughout, omitting verse 2 - thus ‘getting the best of both worlds'!
In the second arrangement, "Love is my Reason", both the sheet music and the musical's score begin and end with the refrain, with a solitary verse in the middle, but the original cast recording abridges the first refrain, as does this arrangement.
The third in this selection is "Highwayman Love", sung, with suitable gusto, in Act 1 by Ernestine Flavelle (Olive Gilbert, augmented by a male chorus of Highwaymen). Love is compared to a Highwayman, holding hearts to ransom with his arrows and cries of "Stand and deliver!" Fanciful stuff!
